Hello, First Grade Alps! I am Mrs. Banks and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! I am new to The Summit for the 2026-27 school year and to first grade. I have been a teacher for 15 years, having taught both preschool and kindergarten. I live in Springfield with my husband Jeremy, our twin boys-Camden and Cohen, and our two pugs Nalah and Oliver. I am looking forward to a fantastic school year of learning, discovery, connection and growth. Go Ravens!
