Racheal Palo Teacher

palor@cersd.org

Racheal brings a wealth of experience and a love for early learning to our Transitional Kindergarten program. She earned her BA in Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education from Central Washington University and later completed her master’s degree in Reading. After teaching preschool for one year, she joined the Cle Elum-Roslyn School District, where she taught Kindergarten for an incredible 33 years before moving into her current role in TK.

What she loves most about teaching TK is that every day feels like a new adventure — you never know what a 4-year-old will say or do, and it keeps the classroom full of joy and surprises!
