Meet Mallory Dawson

Hi!  My name is Mallory Dawson.  I am excited to teach another year in the sixth grade.  I graduated from Weber State University with a  Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Minor in Mathematics.  I have been teaching for 4 years as well as tutoring students in math after school.  I have taught 4^th, 5^th and 6^th grade.  This will be my second year teaching here at Fox Hollow Elementary in the 6^th grade.  Sixth grade is my favorite because of all the interesting things that we get to learn about.

I have lived in Utah my entire life, but I love to travel to new places and learn about the different cultures.  My favorite place I have traveled to has been Europe.  Along with traveling I also love to read, listen to music and sing, I love to watch movies and hang out with friends.

I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl.  My parents are teachers and they have instilled in me the love of learning and teaching.  I am so excited to be starting another school year here at Fox Hollow Elementary.
