Hello My Name Is...
Mary Gallagher
I have taught for over 25 years and still love it as much as I did when I started. Growing up in Colorado gave me a love of the outdoors. After graduating from the University of Colorado I pursued outdoor education and traveling. I had wonderful experiences with children in a variety of outdoor settings. Those opportunities led me to decide to become an elementary teacher. Since becoming a teacher, I have taught in an urban school, a gifted center program, an expeditionary school, a school with deaf and hard of hearing students, and now Kullerstrand. I found a wonderful home here at Kullerstrand. I love bringing in real world applications into the classroom. We learn with hands on activities, technology, and choice activities. I love being able to enhance and encourage student's passions as well as encourage new interests and passions. There is a great community of students and adults and plenty of opportunities to continue to grow both professionally and personally. When I am not teaching, I still enjoy the outdoors, traveling, and spending time with my family.
