I'm Mrs. Kurasch, and I have the honor of being your child's eighth grade Language Arts teacher this year. I have been at Terramar since it opened, and have taught an assortment of grade levels and content areas. Previously, I taught 7th grade Social Studies, 7th grade Language Arts and 5th grade. Before teaching at Terramar, I taught 5th grade in the Paradise Valley School District.
I was born and raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and moved to Phoenix around ten years ago. My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education from National-Louis University in Evanston, Illinois, and my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from Arizona State University in Tempe.
During my free time, I enjoy being with my family. My husband and I have two boys, ages 9 and 4, and two dogs. We are foodies, and love to try new and interesting restaurants. We also love to cheer on our favorite hometown sports teams.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to working with you this year.
