Hello!  I am DeAnn Kruiswyk, and I currently teach math and science in 3rd grade.  I have been blessed by spending most of my teaching career in Cashmere.  After teaching part-time in 2nd grade, I worked briefly at Kenroy Elementary in East Wenatchee teaching 1st grade part-time, and then stayed at home with a year with my small children.  When I returned to Vale, I taught in 1st grade and transitioned to 3rd grade where I have been ever since.  

I grew up in Leavenworth, Washington and graduated from Cascade High School.  I am a graduate of Central Washington University, and have also earned my Masters Degree from Walden University.  

My husband, Marlin, is a Cashmere graduate and is a local business owner.  In addition to our daughter, Carley, we have three sons, Ryan, Carter, and Rhett.
