Continuing our series on our new middle school staff, this week we’ll be turning the spotlight to Jaime Morin. Ms. Morin is our 6th grade math and science teacher, whose kindness, diligence, and patience has been an incredible asset to the middle school this year. We’re so excited to have her on our team. Hear more about Ms. Morin in her own words below.

After attending college in North Carolina, I moved to Tacoma, Washington, where I began my teaching career with Teach for America as a sixth grade math teacher.

This is my sixth year teaching.
