Second Grade
Welcome to 2nd grade! We are so excited to have your child in our classes this year! 2nd grade has so many fun filled events. The kids really get to dive into different communities, habitats, pollination and pollinators this year! We can't wait to see how much your child will grow this year!
Melinda Humphrey
I have been teaching in Douglas County for over 20 years, and I feel so grateful to spend my career in such a wonderful community. I am married to my husband, Mike, and together we have three children—our son, Caleb, and identical twin daughters, Addison and Brooke—all of whom are currently in college. Addison plays college volleyball, and Brooke competes in both college volleyball and tennis, so much of my free time is happily spent cheering them on.
Outside of school, I am a big sports fan and especially enjoy watching volleyball, tennis, and football. I also love reading, gardening, going on walks, and relaxing on my patio. Teaching is my passion, and I truly enjoy learning and growing alongside my students every day. I am excited for the year ahead and all of the learning, laughter, and growth it will bring!
Liz Wulf
I am a wife, mother of three amazing sons, and grandma (“Mimi”) to our beautiful two granddaughters. I am also a TEACHER (from a long line of teachers). I have a degree in business from the University of Colorado and a master’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix. I love the Soaring Hawk community, and the staff at SHE is like family! I feel lucky to be here!
My husband and I live in Parker in the home where we raised our three sons, who are all graduates of Douglas County Schools. We are all crazy about the outdoors, hiking/biking/camping/skiing/snowboarding, and generally “playing” together whenever we can! Your child will soon find out I also love to sing! Some of my other passions are our national parks, the mountains, sunrises and sunsets, flowers, TREES, and animals of ALL KINDS (wolves are my favorite, of course). And, children are my favorite humans!
Yvette Wieter
My name is Yvette Wieter and I am thrilled to be your child’s second grade teacher at Soaring Hawk Elementary. I am excited to help your child grow academically and personally. I have been a teacher for fifteen years. I have taught many grades (first, second, and fourth) and I have substituted in kindergarten through eighth grade. I have an Elementary Education degree with middle school endorsements in Biological Science, Social Science, and Language Arts. My family and I moved here several years ago from Illinois. (Yes, we are Chicago fans!) I have three children (18, 16 ½, and 13) and two dogs (both are Boxers). In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family and dogs, hike, read, bake, ride my bike, play pickleball, and watch my kids play sports (soccer and track). This summer, I went to California and did a roller coaster/beach vacation. I also went white water rafting at the Royal Gorge and was able to cross these adventures off my bucket list. My oldest son is leaving for Colorado Mesa University in August and I am having many mixed emotions about this next phase of his life and mine.
