TEACHER FEATURES<br />
My name is Jenny Yates and I teach first grade. I moved to Utah last September after<br />
completing my Master’s in Teaching program at the University of Washington in Seattle. As an<br />
avid skier I was very excited to experience what the Wasatch had to offer. Even with the low<br />
snow year I was able to spend nearly every winter weekend with my fiancé in the backcountry<br />
up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Recently we got a new dog. His name is Niko and he is a<br />
handsome 100-pound Malamute/Pyrenees mix. The three of us like to be outside whenever<br />
possible. I feel very fortunate that I was able to spend time at <strong>Riley</strong> this year! There are so many<br />
fantastic people here and my students make me smile every day!<br />
Christy Smith is our <strong>School</strong> Counseling intern from Utah State University. She received her<br />
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Utah. Her two children are seven and<br />
five, and she enjoys doing anything outside with her family from hiking, to rollerblading, to<br />
camping, to just playing at the park. She has loved all the experiences she has had working<br />
with your children at <strong>Riley</strong> and will miss them all when she graduates this May. She is excited<br />
to begin a new adventure with her family this summer as they move to Colorado Springs. She<br />
wants to thank everyone at <strong>Riley</strong> for making this year such a wonderful experience for her!
