At The View would like to welcome Mrs. Colette Schmidt to Ridge View as a Library Media Specialist. Ms. Schmidt is looking forward to connecting with our students and our staff this upcoming school year. She is from Naperville, Illinois near Chicago, where she was a teacher and librarian for nine years at Downers Grove South High School. Prior to teaching, she pursued her masters degree and stayed home with her three children after moving from Montreal, Canada in 1998. She also taught French Immersion in Kindergarten in Edmonton, Alberta and in Toronto, Ontario. Mrs. Schmidt just keeps moving further east and to the south! She loves to travel, explore and cook with her husband. Her sons live in Lake Tahoe and Denver while her daughter is attending St. Louis University. She is excited to be joining the Ridge View community. Please stop in the Library Commons and say "Bonjour" as she will be happy to respond in kind because she also speaks French. Welcome to The View!
