Andrea Dolphin, First Grade
I grew up in Des Moines Iowa where I graduated from East High School in 1992. I attended the University of Northern Iowa and graduated in 1997 with a degree in Early Childhood Education, and Elementary Education. I was a member of the UNI Swimming Team, and was a co-captain my senior year. “GO PANTHERS”!
I was a 2nd and 3rd grade teacher for students with Behavior Disorders at Smouse Opportunity School for seven years. While at Smouse I took graduate classes at Drake University. I am only 3 classes away from getting my Masters Degree in Behavior Disorders.
My husband Troy was born and raised in Dubuque, Iowa. He
is a branch manager at USBank where he has worked for several years. We have
been married for 9 years and we have three children- Keagan, Kade and McKenna.
As a family we enjoy going on vacations. For the last four years we have
alternated between Disney World and Texas. This Spring Break we are off to
Disney.
We also enjoy watching sporting events. Our favorite teams are the Iowa
Hawkeyes, Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, the UNI Panthers and of course, any team
that our children are playing on (my husband would add the Miami Dolphins).
I grew up swimming and playing soccer. I started coaching the East Des Moines Swim Team when I was 19 (during the summer) and I have continued on and off for the last 14 years.
I also enjoy reading Harry Potter books, playing games and reading with my kids, hanging out at the pool, and going to Adventurland and other amusement parks.
I am excited for my first year at Pleasant Hill!
