Shoutout to our 5th grade teachers! 💛

The 5th grade team loves being part of Summerwind STEM Academy because we get to work with such a diverse group of students who come to school excited to learn and grow every day.

The very best part of teaching 5th grade? Those moments when a concept clicks and their faces light up with understanding. We also cherish building meaningful relationships with each student and supporting their growth throughout the year.

Outside of school, you’ll find us spending time with family and friends, diving into a good book, or enjoying walks around beautiful Boise. 🌲
