My name is Debbie O’Hara. I am so happy to be a first grade teacher at Ames Elementary. I have taught at Ames for thirteen years, and absolutely love teaching the children in this community! I find teaching first grade very rewarding as there is so much growth that takes place during this phase of a child's educational experience.
I hold two degrees: a Bachelor of Science Degree in elementary education from Metro State College, and a Master of Science Degree in Education with emphasis on Literacy from Walden University in Minneapolis. An interesting fact about me is that I am a native of Littleton and a product of Littleton Public Schools. I went to South Elementary (currently Ralph Moody Elementary), Euclid, and Heritage. I feel very fortunate to have been born here in Colorado; the most beautiful state in the United States.
I hope you will stop by and visit Ames in the near future to see first-hand the dedicated staff and hard-working students in this learning community.
