Elementary Specialists

“Our boys still talk fondly of their North Wall days. They have so many happy memories from there!  You created a loving and positive environment. Marty & I felt like we grew as parents with the positive discipline classes, and we so appreciate how you worked with us on our son’s severe peanut allergies.  NWS was a blessing to our family and know it was to many others as well.” Lori Fritz

Katelyn Reed, Elementary P.E. Teacher and After School Specialist

Personal Background

I began as a Guest Teacher in the summer of 2024. I was able to use my knowledge of art concepts with the elementary classes while also learning so much with the full day preschoolers. I spend my morning with the AM classes and my afternoons teaching PE and the afterschool program to the elementary students. I am a professional artist working in visual art, music and writing, and regularly showing at art events and galleries in Spokane.
