My name is Mrs. Saige Palmer. I have been married for 3 years and am expecting a baby boy at the end of September. I have been teaching at WPA since December 2018. I have loved working with the supportive community and expanding young minds.
I discovered my passion for teaching when I landed my first job as a gymnastics coach when I was 16. I learned how much I enjoyed working with young children and loved the rewarding nature of teaching. I knew what I wanted to continue doing. I applied for the Elementary Teaching program at the University of Utah following my completion of my freshman year. I have learned that teaching is not always easy and no day is perfect. I believe in second chances and the importance of relationships. My goal for my classroom is to create a place where students feel safe and valued. I believe in self-care and balancing priorities. When I'm not in the classroom my hobbies include being outdoors and hiking with my husband, cooking, eating new foods, and spending time with friends and family. |
