Hello!  My name is Mrs. Grabner.  I am delighted to be your teacher this year!  I have been teaching for sixteen years, the last ten here at Marvin.  I love working with the Marvin students, families, and staff.  It is a wonderful place!  I have been married for 23 years to my wonderful husband.  We have two amazing boys, Van (17) and Beckett (15).  We also have the cutest little dog, Mochi, who brings us a lot of joy.  I enjoy reading, cooking, relaxing on my deck with a cup of tea, and being active everyday.  Even though we are living through changing and challenging times, you are going to learn so much this year.  I am so excited to begin this journey with you!

Hello and welcome!  My name is Mrs. Oliver and I am so excited to be your kindergarten teacher this year! This will be my third year teaching at Marvin, we are so lucky to have you and your family joining us this year. I love working with Marvin staff, students and families, we are one big family! I have been teaching for 11 years altogether. I am married and have 2 kiddos at home. We have 2 pets, a dog and a cat (they get along most of the time). When I’m not at school I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exercising, cooking and baking, and relaxing with a good book. As we embark on this new normal for the time being you can be confident that you will learn so many new things. I am so glad that we get to be on this new journey together!

Hello and welcome!  My name is Ms. Scholten and I am very excited to be your Kindergarten teacher this year. This is my 6th year teaching Kindergarten at Marvin! I absolutely love Kindergarten and getting to watch students bloom and grow so much throughout the year. When I am not at school I love to read, binge a good Netflix show, cook, and spend time with my friends and family (even virtually these days!) As we begin school virtually this year it is normal to feel a little uneasy, but know that you will still get to learn a lot about reading, writing, math, science, and social studies! I look forward to getting to meet all my new friends and get to know one another!
