Anmari began teaching at Newton in 2006 and has taught K-2, K-8 Art, and kindergarten. She guided the class structure from part to full-day kindergarten and began the school’s forest day program. She loves the big learning, curiosity, and joy of kindergartners. Anmari has a Master’s degree in Education from Naropa University and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Anmari always enjoys learning more, particularly about nature, art, and literacy. She and Ben, also a teacher, lived in Costa Rica, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Scotland before settling down in beautiful Vermont. They live nearby with their son and two dogs and enjoy traveling, being outdoors, music, good food, reading, and biking. When not teaching you will find Anmari playing games with her son, running with the dogs, or reading a good book. You can reach her at akicza@wrvsu.org.
