Anna Barnum 2nd/3rd Grade Teacher abarnum@skyview.k12.az.us
Anna has been teaching students in grades Pre-K to Post Secondary for the past 15 years and she is so excited to have joined Skyview School as part of the Primary team! Anna grew up in Prescott, AZ and graduated from Prescott High School in 1998. After attending and graduating from Northern Arizona University in 2002 with a Bachelor's degree in Art Education, Anna began her teaching career in Phoenix as a Visual Arts teacher for Elementary-age students.
In 2007, Anna met her husband and moved back to Prescott to teach, and eventually start a family. In 2011, Anna completed and received her Masters’ degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. Anna is passionate about teaching, and believes that ‘Art is what helps children become more like themselves, and less like everybody else!’ Anna lives with her husband and her two children in Prescott Valley. During her ‘spare-time’ Anna can be found reading, knitting, bike riding, and walking her dog.
My name is Lupe Mercado Martinez, I was born in Mexico City and moved to Prescott Arizona twenty years ago. I have an AAS in Early Childhood Education and six years of experience working with children ranging from three months to five-years old. When I am not in the classroom I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, drinking delicious coffee, and baking. I am excited to embark on this new journey as one of the second/third grade aides alongside Mrs. Anna. I am honored to be part of this amazing Skyview community and I look forward to being part of your child’s growth and learning experiences.
