Bio: Bev Foster

Foster and Fifth grade just seem to go together, and I love 5^th grade!  My name is Bev Foster and I have had the pleasure of teaching 5^th grade here at Freedom from the first day we opened!  What a great place to be.  I have been teaching in D-11 for 5 years , and have moved around the country following my Air Force/Army/Navy husband for a long time and teaching in a variety of different states – always in 5^th or 3^rd grade.  We are officially retired from active duty and have made Colorado Springs our home.  I received my Masters of Fine Arts in Teaching from Salem College (established in 1774) in Winton-Salem, North Carolina in 1993 and have been teaching since then.  I have two children, a daughter Morgan who is a sophomore in college, and Thomas a sophomore in high school.  We are a swimming family, and spend a lot of time on pool decks!  I am also a registered leader with Boy Scouts and our son is almost an Eagle Scout – one more merit badge and his project to complete.  We have been active in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts for the past 15 years and are always supportive of projects and volunteer service to others! If we aren’t at a swim meet, Boy Scout event, or church function, you will find my family camping, hiking, fishing or enjoying what Colorado has to offer!  Oh, and by the way, 5^th Grade Rocks!
