Welcome to Mrs. Vining's Third Grade! I am a native of North Dakota. My husband Aaron and I relocated to Arizona in 2014 with our children, Brodie (20) and Riley (17). I look forward to the upcoming year with your child. I often refer to the students in my class as "my kids" as they will always hold a special place in my heart.

Defining Moment in Education

My first year of teaching was at a school with an at risk population. I reflected every day on the impact I had on students. I chose that year to make connections with each and every child. I believe that if a child knows you are genuinely interested in them, they will commit to meeting and exceeding expectations.

Core Educational Belief

Children, parents, and teachers comprise a team that creates successful educational experiences. I believe that every child deserves an adult who insists they become the best they can possibly be.
