Meet the Teacher

Here’s a little bit of my background as an educator and a learner.  I graduated from Missouri Western State University (College, at the time!) in 2004 with a Bachelor's Degree in Education.  I graduated in the summer of 2010 from Northwest Missouri State University, where I earned my Masters' Degree in Elementary Education Administration.  I most recently taught 3rd grade at Lake Contrary Elementary for four years, and before that I taught music for two years and 2nd grade for a year.  I am thrilled about the opportunity to be returning to 2nd grade- it is such an exciting time to watch students grow as learners.  I am also excited to join the Parkway team!

Here are just a few more fun facts about me.  I grew up in St. Joseph, and my family still lives here in town.  I have three silly cats named Poppy, Posie, and Periwinkle.  In my spare time, I love to read, have coffee with friends, and do some painting.  I also enjoy traveling with friends, and hope to someday visit Italy.  I am also an adult sponsor of a local organization called The New Generation Singers, and enjoyed touring with them this past summer!

If you ever have a question or concern, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  You can reach me by email at emily.auxier@sjsd.k12.mo.us, or call me at school at 671-4310 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Parkway updates and class information will always be on our blog, as well as in our weekly newsletter.
