Hello! My name is Kirra Fisk and I am Cedar Park's Physical Education Specialist and Academic Interventionist. I am thrilled to be one of Cedar Park Elementary's founding staff members- I can't wait to begin this collaborative journey with all of you.
After growing up in sunny Santa Barbara, I went to Westmont College and graduated with a degree in Elementary Education in 2010. In 2011 I moved to Seattle and spent 2 years at Queen Anne Elementary as a kindergarten instructional aide and after school instructor with Kids Co. In 2013 I worked at Madrona K-8 as a 2nd grade teacher and went on to teach 2nd/3rd grade and kindergarten. I also joined the Early Learning Fitness (ELF) leadership team, which emphasizes the blending of academic content and movement in prek/K classes. Using ELF in my own classroom and learning about physical activity's impact on the developing brain spurred me on to pursue my Health and Fitness endorsement so that I could teach Physical Education.
When I am not thinking about school I can be found: trying new recipes while singing loudly, exploring new Sci-Fi series with my husband Donovan, walking our dog Jericho to the ends of the earth, working out with friends, brainstorming the next great graphic novel, and laughing as much as possible.
Being at Cedar Park is a dream come true and I hope you are as excited as I am about all the different adventures in education we will have as a community.
