About Ms. Simmons
I was born and raised in Salem, UT on a dairy farm. I have several brothers and sisters. I love working with kids and animals. I was taught to work hard and be the best person you can be. I love to play sports and be active. I now live in Elk Ridge, UT. I have 4 children that I love getting together with and having fun. I have been working as a teacher for over 10 years. I love my job and getting to know the students in this community. I have a love for learning and want each student to have that same love. The way I think about teaching can be summed up with one quote: “I facilitate thinking, I engage minds, I listen to questions, I encourage risk, I support struggle, I cultivate dreams, I learn every day, I teach!”
