    While I may be a new face around Woodside Elementary, I am not new around the Everett School District. I am a product of the District, and am proud to have spent my entire career educating the students in this community. I believe in this school district so much, that I chose to purchase a house in Everett so my son will have the opportunity to have gone to the Everett Public Schools. My son is in fourth grade at Jefferson Elementary School. aruotsala@everettsd.org

    In my spare time I enjoy reading, making things, and watching tv. I have two dogs who love to escape the fence and I spend quite a significant chunk of my time making sure they are in the yard and not roaming the neighborhood. I also am a proud adoptive mom!!!
