Please join us in welcoming Sarah Marie Talbert, our new third grade teacher, to Garden Valley School District! We're excited to have her join our team this year. Sarah has prepared a special message to introduce herself to our students and families. Welcome, Sarah!

Hello! I’m Sarah-Marie Talbert, and I’m so excited to be joining the Garden Valley School District is year. I have spent more than 15 years working with children and families in a variety of educational settings, including owning and operating Wildwood Preschool. I love creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and excited to explore the world around them.

I believe the earliest years lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Through nurturing relationships, play-based experiences, language-rich interactions, and plenty of opportunities to explore, my goal is to help each child grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence. I look forward to partnering with your family and getting to know each of your little ones.
