Meet Miss Jenn (in the office) but kids also call me Mrs. Rocketfield-Sias

There is so much to know and love about Miss Jenn! She enjoys nature, traveling, music, powerlifting, and all things Disney—with Stitch and Ariel among her favorites! She’s also an animal lover with a special place in her heart for bats, and her favorite season is autumn. After spending 14 years as a teacher, she says her very favorite role of all has been being a mom! We are so happy to have her as part of our Granite Valley community!

Meet Miss Tianni! 🎨

Check out these amazing sketches created by Miss Tianni! Her creativity is just one of the many things that makes her special. Each day, Miss Tianni shares her welcoming smile, positive attitude, and willingness to lend a helping hand with our Granite Valley community. We are so lucky to have her as a part of our team.
