Hello! My name is Ms. Strickland, and I am very excited to be joining the community here at DCIS at Fairmont. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with a concentration on mathematics. I am from Delta, Colorado where I spent the last year teaching 3rd grade. Before that, I was a paraprofessional teaching students with severe needs.That experience showed me that the key to growth and learning is connection and caring. Every student can be reached if you connect and show them how much you care about them.
Outside of the classroom, I love to spend time with my family and friends, spoil my cat Pipsqueak, and enjoy many hobbies. I love to crochet, bake, garden, make jewelry and draw. I am also a voracious reader, mostly of fantasy novels or non-fiction books. I grew up outdoors and I love to be out in nature and exploring. I can’t wait to meet all of you and get to know what you love as well!
