My name is Colleen Sheriff. This is my 12th year teaching and my second year teaching at Northside Elementary. I grew up in Urbandale, Iowa where my family still lives, graduated from Central College in Pella, Iowa with my Elementary Education degree and endorsements in Reading and Early Childhood, taught kindergarten and first grades over the course of five years in Newton, Iowa, and completed my Educational Administration degree from Iowa State University. Then I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and taught kindergarten for five years before moving back to the Midwest. In my spare time, I enjoy biking, walking, and working puzzles.
