Dear EBS Families,
Welcome to EBS! My name is Mary Offord and I am thrilled to be a Kindergarten teacher here at EB Scripps! I’ve been teaching Kindergarten or First grade since 1989 (yes that long). I’ve been at Ellen Browning Scripps since 2003. I knew I wanted to be a teacher from a very young age. As the fourth daughter of a Naval Officer, I moved many times and lived in many places attending 8 schools K-12. School has always been a stabilizing and comforting environment for me. I furthered my education at San Diego State University where I received my Bachelor’s Degree and Elementary Teaching Credential. I later attended U.S.I.U. where I earned my Master’s Degree.
I currently live in Scripps Ranch with my husband Bruce. We have two grown sons Mathew and Trevor who both attended EBS, as well as, Marshall and Scripps Ranch High School. I enjoy traveling, watching baseball and spending time with a large extended family here in San Diego.
I look forward to a great year with a new set of Kindergarten Penguins! We will build a community of learners that value our differences, value our friendships and learn from each other! After all of these years, I’m still amazed at the amount of emotional and academic growth a Kindergartener can make during one school year! GO PENGUINS!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mary Offord
Kindergarten Teacher
