Mrs. Caitlin Breitenstein

Biography: I recently received my Master’s degree from the University of Oregon and I received my Bachelor’s of Education degree from Gonzaga University. I am also a graduate of St. Paul and Marist. Being the best teacher I can be for my students has been a dream of mine ever since second grade when I wrote a paper about how I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. Outside of school I enjoy reading novels or any book about elephants, cooking, swimming, and spending time with my family.
