#GoCoyotes!
I am beyond excited for this next journey in life and am pleased to be doing it at A-M, the school in which helped me decide to pursue a degree in education.
My life revolves heavily around family, friends, those I work with, and of course my amazing pets. I am a social person who loves to always make plans and hangout with others. I grew up the youngest in a family of four, which meant I had nieces and nephews pretty early in life. I love being Aunt Mickey to now 7 little ones, and my experiences with them, and the educators I have had throughout my time in education influenced my decision to go into Early Childhood education. I am excited to get to know each and every child’s personality and grow as a person and educator from my time with them in the classroom.

My name is Jaide Ahlstrom and I attended Anselmo-Merna throughout my elementary and high school years. I currently live in Merna with my husband, Grant, and our two-year-old son, Jackson. We love spending time together as a family, whether that is going on drives, baking cookies, playing card games, reading books, or watching movies, especially Cars. As for myself, I love baking, cooking, and gardening. I have always loved the close-knit community that Anselmo-Merna has, and I am excited to be part of it again! Collaborating with and learning from other teachers at Anselmo-Merna is something I am looking forward to. I love children, specifically watching them grow academically and personally. I can't wait to meet my first-grade students and help them grow into good humans!
