About Me

My name is Bree Roon and this will be my 17th year as a teacher.  I received my teaching degree from the University of Northern Colorado, with an English major, a Spanish minor, and an endorsement in Linguistically Diverse Education.  I have a Masters Degree in Reading and Literacy Education.  Over the years, I have been a first and second grade classroom teacher, and ESL teacher, a K-6th grade reading interventionist, and an instructional coach for other teachers.  I have had the opportunity to teach in several schools and districts and I can say that Gold Rush is THE BEST! I taught ESL here at GRE for five years when the school first open, and returned to the classroom here two years ago.  I am so blessed to be back to the school community that I think of as home.  In fact, it is home!  I live just down the street. 

My husband, Brian, and I both grew up in Colorado.  After a few years in California, we were both eager to return to our Colorado roots.  We have two children here at GRE; Evan will be attending third grade and Kora is headed to first!  We also have two rambunctious dogs, Rowdy and Stella.    Life keeps us busy and we like to be outdoors when we can—camping, hiking, paddleboarding, and keeping up with the kiddos at their sports and activities.  We are also big Broncos fans and you will find us at most home games!
