Hi!  My name is Nicola Gonzalez and this is my first year teaching at Diamond Valley Elementary.  This is my 5th year teaching and I have taught 2nd grade (both in school and virtual), 3rd grade and also Kindergarten.  Although I have loved teaching the other grades, Kindergarten has a special place in my heart.  I love watching the little light bulbs go off every time they learn new things!   I am very excited to be teaching Kindergarten again and have loved every minute so far at this wonderful school! 
 
When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my family.  My husband is also a teacher so it's nice to have the same days off together to spend with our family.  We have 3 boys ages 20, 18 and 13.  My oldest son got married over the summer, so now I have another girl in my family (finally!).  We love to travel in our RV and go camping anywhere in nature.  We love to visit National Parks and also have loved visiting the Pacific Northwest beaches. We can't wait to go back!

Hello! My name is Cambrie Holt and I'm thrilled to join the kindergarten team at Diamond Valley! I graduated from Utah Tech with a degree in Elementary Education, and I'm excited to bring my passion for teaching to the classroom. I absolutely love Art, spending time with kids, and being outdoors. When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me watching movies, painting, or traveling with my husband. I can't wait to embark on this journey together with students and make this school year an amazing one!
