My name is Kennedy Zufelt. I was born and raised in Boulder Montana. I currently live in Basin Montana and I work at the small cafe there. You can usually find me spending time with my dog somewhere in the mountains. I enjoy adventuring around Montana with my friends and our dogs! I am very excited for this new journey!]]> 2022-08-23 03:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/qzv0dz6mg6bzh8yk/wish/2268255119 https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/qzv0dz6mg6bzh8yk/wish/2270048992 Hello, my name is Toni Arocha and I live in Missoula with my husband Anthony and our five children, Randall, Tyler, Braiton, Aariah, and AJ. They all range from ages 6- 17, and all of our children participate in some kind of sport, so we have a very busy household at times. When I have some time to myself, I love running or you can catch me on the golf course with my husband. I work full-time as a Childcare Manager at a nonprofit agency that helps young mothers who need a place to live and provides them with childcare and a team to help them to find housing, gain employment or attend school, and we also have mental health services got our clients to use.  I love my job and I'm excited to be back in school. ]]> 2022-08-24 12:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/qzv0dz6mg6bzh8yk/wish/2270048992 https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/qzv0dz6mg6bzh8yk/wish/2272265025 Hey,

I'm Jessica from Dillon. I've lived here for 5 years with my husband, 5 kids, 2 cats, and 1 dog. Years ago I graduated from BYU-Idaho with a degree in Theater Education but had few opportunities to use it. No worries though, because once my kids started to arrive I stayed home with them. Being a mom has been the greatest and most rewarding job in my life. Now that all my babies have grown up and are in school full time, I'm working at Canvas Early Learning Center. I love my job, as I get to surround myself with little children. They are darling! I've started classes at Montana Western to earn my certificate in Early Childhood. this new chapter in my life is busy, crazy, and utterly amazing!]]> 2022-08-27 17:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/qzv0dz6mg6bzh8yk/wish/2273474023 https://padlet.com/anitabauer2/qzv0dz6mg6bzh8yk/wish/2276561227 Hau mitakyapi - Ti Ed Ipi Wi emagyabi. Hello relatives - my name is Good Hospitality Woman. My English name is Callyn Wagner. I’m a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters. I live on my home reservation, the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux, of which I’m a proud member. My husband and daughters are enrolled in the Blackfeet Nation. I currently hold an AS in Gen Ed and a 1-year Cert in Tribal Lay Advocacy. I’m nearing the end for my AS in Early Elem Edu. 

I’ve always been extremely passionate about working with children but didn’t take the dive into the teaching curriculum until my girls got a little more independent. I don’t have any formal experience working with young children other than volunteering for local youth events and in our head-start programs. Beforehand, I’d always worked in law enforcement as a program assistant and lastly as a Gaming Technician. Currently, Ive taken a step back from traditional employment and now am a stay at home mother to raise our children while my husband works. I’m excited to learn with you all and look forward to advancing along this program with you all.

My name is Katriena Walling (I usually go by just Kat). I currently live in Missoula Montana with my wonderful husband of 5 years and our 2 amazing daughters. Henna age 2 and Maggie age 7 months. I have worked in childcare for about 8 years. This year I was promoted to assistant director in my program and I am so excited to be working in multiple classrooms and not just helping children but also supporting the room teachers!
I am currently a single mom, with my husband away on Deployment. We hope that he will be back early November. With me being a single mom finding time to do the things that I love has been hard. 
But I have been trying. I recently started to learn how to play the Ukelele and I love to read and cook.
