Meet Mr. Parent
Welcome to fifth grade! I'm very excited to be teaching fifth grade at Thurston. This is my eighth year at Thurston and 2nd year teaching fifth grade. I'm the leader of the Safety Team at our school and also assist with the Green Team. Thurston Elementary is a fantastic place to work and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be :).
I was born and raised in Williamston, MI and attended Michigan State University for my teaching degree. I worked in the business world for 10 years before finding my calling in life which was teaching and here I am. I taught in multiple schools in both rural and urban settings before coming to Thurston. I must say the students, parents, and community at Thurston are amazing.
I have two children Hayden who is 7 years old and Sophia who is 14 years old. Many people know my daughter because she attended Thurston Elementary and Clague Middle School.
