Christy Cothren - First Grade Teacher

My name is Christy Cothren and I teach first grade at Oakview Elementary.  I graduated Saint Martin's College in 1999 with a bachelors in Elementary Education. I have been teaching in the Centralia School District for 27 years.

Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have a love for learning and I would hope that my students will also learn to love learning as much as I do. By making my classroom a safe and fun place for my students, I would hope that they will enjoy coming to my classroom and learning something new every day. I feel that all children are different and require specific attention and affection for them to flourish. I strive to be that for each of my students; an educator who loves each child that walks in her door and gives each of them not only an education, but a passion to learn.
