My name is Mrs. Cole and I teach First Grade here at Madison!
This is my 6th year teaching, my third year with DMPS. I graduated from Simpson College with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Reading and Social Studies. I will be graduating from Drake University in December with my Master’s Degree.
I am excited for another year with the great staff and families at Madison. My favorite thing about teaching is building relationships with the students and families that we serve. I love to see students grow and gain their confidence in all areas, but specifically reading. Madison is a great place to learn and grow!
When not at school, I love to be outside and spend time with my family and friends.
I earned my Elementary Education degree from Drake University and my Master’s in Mental Health counseling from Drake University.
I’ve lived in Des Moines my entire life. Teaching is my passion; it’s what I love doing more than anything else.
