My Email: Megan.bowthorpe@washk12.orgHi! My name is Megan Bowthorpe. I am excited to be the new Spanish Paraprofessional at Diamond Valley Elementary. I have loved being a substitute teacher the last few years, but I'm looking forward to being in a new role. I graduated from the University of Utah in Spanish. I worked in the healthcare field for several years, and then found my way to education. I worked as a first grade teacher in Northern Utah, but decided to stay home with my children for a few years. I have lived in St. George Utah for 3 years now, and love it! I love reading books, spending time with my family, and watching movies. I'm looking forward to the new school year!
