Mrs. Karen Padelford
Welcome to 1st Grade 2024-2025 and Room 112! I have enjoyed 25 years of teaching, including 10 years of Kindergarten/1st-3rd grade Reading Intervention, 7 years of PreK-8th Music Therapy, and 8 years of 1st-2nd grade.
On a personal note, my husband Brian and I have been married for 29 years. We have 4 children: Emma (age 22), who recently married Jayson this past May! Ava (19, Sophomore at GCU), Jack (16, Junior at Ridge), and Max (13, Terramar 8th grade). Walter is our Red Retriever and Frank is our Maltipom. They both celebrated their 3rd birthdays this past spring.
I look forward to an amazing school year! ?
