Siminski, Heather

I have my B.A. in psychology and a Master’s in teaching. This will be 13th year as a teacher! I started as a special education teacher in Yelm Schools (both middle and high) and then moved back to where I completed my student teaching experience at Bush Middle School. After five years at Bush, I worked for five years as a 5th grade teacher at Peter G. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces this year!
