2024-2025 begins my 35th year as an educator.  I am a product of the Everett School District, and am proud to have spent my entire career educating the students in this community. I have taught elementary school, middle school ELA, science, remedial reading. I spent four years as a middle school librarian. This will be my seventh year as the teacher-librarian at Woodside. I have a son. He is a sophmore at Everett High School. aruotsala@everettsd.org
