I’m Carol Fix. Both of my children attended Rivendell, during which time I spent 10 years helping in classrooms, contributing to fund-raising and event committees, and working in the library. Even though my children have moved on to attend middle and high schools, I still consider myself a part of the Rivendell library.
Because I’m self-employed, I have the freedom to spend time at school getting good books into the hands of enthusiastic readers! And, because I enjoy organizing people and promoting events; it’s in the library programs, including the planning and promotion of book fairs, that I put my degree in Public Relations to use.
My name is Sarah Maharry. It is at Rivendell that I discovered my love for teaching children. Both of my kids attended Rivendell where I became involved with the reading program, field trips, fundraising, and the steering committee. For seven years I acted as the volunteer librarian for Rivendell. I enjoy reading children’s books and I enjoy encouraging kids to find books that kindle their excitement for reading.
My name is Audrey Imhoff. I’m a Rivendell parent with a son in Younger Kids, and I have a younger son who is eagerly awaiting his chance to attend Rivendell next fall. As a former 7th grade English teacher and middle and high school librarian, it is a natural fit for me to volunteer in Rivendell’s library. When I entered Rivendell for the first time, I was so excited to see the well-stocked and welcoming library at the heart of the school!
I’m Kara Straumanis. I’m a Rivendell parent with a son in Middle Kids and a daughter in Younger Kids. My graduate degree is in library and information science and I managed university art and physics libraries before moving to Fort Collins. I love being able to help connect people to books and information. I’m very happy to have the opportunity to be a part of that process at Rivendell.
