Margaret taught fifth grade for four years in Lakewood before joining Eagle Ridge Elementary School in 2020. At ERE she taught 3rd grade for three years before moving to fourth grade last year.

He has taught grades from Kindergarten to Eighth grade, in rural and urban settings, all subject areas.
Ken and his family moved to Highlands Ranch in 2008 and call this area of the state/city home. He enjoys going for walks in the green spaces, gardening in the yard, and traveling to see his family and friends. He is thrilled to begin this year with the students and families of Eagle Ridge.
Bri Winder
Bri Winder is excited to begin her 4th year teaching at Eagle Ridge! She is originally from a small town in east Tennessee, but has lived all over the country. She went to school at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science, and several years later knew it was time to make the career change to teaching. She earned her Masters in Elementary Education from Western Governors University. She did her student-teaching in Kansas in a 2nd grade classroom then finished out the school year working alongside the reading specialist with grades K-6. During her free time she loves to do anything outdoors. She, her partner, and their dog Hansel love to go hiking, camping, paddle boarding, and skiing. When she’s not outside, she enjoys cuddling up with a coffee and her cat Finley while reading a good book.
