8th Grade Teacher mtrushell@skyview.k12.az.us

Hello!
My name is Mara Trushell, I am a native of Prescott and am absolutely thrilled to have joined the Skyview team! I moved to Flagstaff to attend Northern Arizona University (NAU) to began a college career in art education, but soon became enamored by science. I refocused and completed my undergraduate studies with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. After spending a few years in the scientific research community I realized that providing inspirational learning opportunities for youth was my true calling. In 2011, I combined my two passions and completed my Masters of Arts in Science Teaching, also through NAU. For the past six years I have been teaching as an environmental educator. Though this work was truly amazing, I wanted to move into a teaching position where I could develop deep and long-term relationships with my students. In my free time you can find me running trails all around Prescott, painting, or exploring new and wild places. |

Hi there, I’m Michelle Grubert, and I am incredibly honored to be a part of the middle school team at Skyview. My three daughters eagerly joined the Skyview community after our family moved to Prescott from California in 2015. Now it’s my turn! I love witnessing bright, creative students learning, making connections, working together, sharing their gifts, and expressing themselves. I am also blessed by the community of teachers and staff at Skyview whose love, passion, and creativity make for a remarkable learning environment. I have taught young people from Kindergarten through 12th grade, primarily as a music and drama teacher, and I’ve performed and directed for 25 years. My passion is to infuse the performing arts into other curricular areas such as English and history so as to deepen learning and promote vibrant student engagement.

My name is Lindsey Townsend, I'm a special education aide in 5-6. I graduated from Prescott College in December of 2016 with a double competence in creative writing and human development, with specializations in poetry and counseling skills. I started at Skyview as a work study student in the fall of 2015 where I worked in the 3-4 classroom with Scout. On the weekends I enjoy hiking and reading / writing poetry or making art.
