Introduction:

My name is Kristi Fout. I will be your student’s 7th grade ELAR teacher for 2023-2024. I am so thankful to be at HMS and am looking forward to this year. Teaching is my passion (I'm also a life-long learner) and I hope to instill my love of learning to my students. I will do my best to instill a sense of community and family into my classroom, so that all students feel safe and accepted.

Education:

In May of 1996, I graduated with a B.S. in Elementary Education, grades 1-8 and History, grades 1-8 from Southwestern Adventist University. I am also ESL and GT certified.

On a personal Note:

I’ve been married for 29 years and have 2 children (girl 20 and boy 16) and 6 rescue cats. I’m an artist in my spare time. Currently, I am learning to speak, read, and write Korean. I love Kpop music (BTS and Monsta X are my favorites.) I love watching Korean television (part of how I am learning to speak it). I also love punk/emo music and am a big concert-goer. I collect BTS and Monsta X items and MCR and concert t-shirts and pop figures.
