Biographies:

Kati Fuduli, French Teacher
I am a graduate of Ovidius University in Constanta, Romania and I hold a Bachelor of Arts major in French and minor in English. I have four endorsements in WA State: French, Elementary Education, Language Arts and ELL. I have been studying French for twelve years and I have been teaching students from Kindergarten to High School level for six years; by the end of the school year they would find out that French is their favorite foreign language and they would like to continue studying French even in college. When I am not teaching, I like spending time with my family, going hiking, riding the bike or reading French literature.

Mary (Neno) Skinner, Elementary Teacher
Mary Skinner, Elementary Teacher, AMI, has been teaching at Skinner approximately 21 years. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Education from the University of Portland, Portland, Oregon and a Montessori Elementary Certificate from the Washington Montessori Institute in Washington, D.C. She had her own Elementary Montessori school in Boise, Idaho for six years and taught in the public school system in rural Oregon for 1 1/2 years. For most of her years at Skinner, she taught the Upper Elementary. This past September, 2009, she was given the opportunity to teach a Lower Elementary class which includes 4 1/2, 5, 5 1/2 years old; she has found this experience as rewarding as teaching the older children! When she is not teaching, she also enjoys writing, farming, art, music, especially jazz, and reading!
