My name is Ruby Rideout and this begins my 23rd year in education. This is my first year at Grannemann and I am teaching first grade for the second time in 23 years. I have spent the majority of my career teaching preschool and kindergarten. I am excited about helping my first grade scholars reach their full potential. I hope the legacy that I leave with my families and students will be one of community. I believe that we all play an important role in educating our children and that it truly takes a village to raise a child. I strive to instill the joy of learning in my students that will propel them to become lifelong learners.
