Please join us in welcoming Amanda to FMSL.
Amanda Bywaters joined us in 2021-22 as our Student Support Coordinator. During the first few weeks of this school year, Amanda will join each class, from infants to upper elementary, weekly to focus on Social/Emotional Learning lessons. You will get to read a snapshot of these lessons on Friday’s Montessori Compass activity reports. Amanda will continue to follow up and facilitate current and future Student Support Plans.
Amanda is a native Oregonian and grew up in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She was fortunate to work in the school district she attended as a child and focused on the area of Special Education for the Lake Oswego School district for 17 years, even working with some of her former teachers.
Amanda, her husband and two children decided to change scenery and move to Utah in November 2020. As lovers of the outdoors, they are all thriving here. Going on family hikes, skiing, enjoying local farmers markets and exploring new places are their favorite things to do together. Amanda also enjoys photography, making jewelry and crafting.
Amanda is inspired by the Montessori philosophy and is excited to be part of the Montessori team.
