Hi! I’m Jody Carter. I've been one of the lunch ladies here at Diamond Valley Elementary since 2011. I also volunteer for the PTVO taking photos for the yearbook and I manage DVES social media pages. In addition to working in the kitchen, I have also worked here as a SPED and P.E. paraprofessional. 

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, CA. My husband and I have two sons and a labrador retriever named Buddy! We moved to Utah in 2006 and live right here in Diamond Valley!

I love spending time with my family and friends, going to concerts and playing in my Bunco group every month.

I absolutely love working here. I look forward to seeing all of the students each day! I’m lucky enough to get to say hi and small talk with almost every student in our school as I serve them breakfast and lunch or while taking their photos!

I can honestly say, this is my favorite job ever except when the 5th graders graduate! I cry every year! I work at the best school with the best coworkers, here at Diamond Valley Elementary!

Hi! 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!
