About: Hello! My name is Emily Forrest and I am proud to be a Washington Wizard! I grew up in Libertyville, Illinois and attended Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana where I received my degree in education and found my passion for teaching. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy tap dancing, reading, and doing puzzles whenever I have free time. This will be my fourth year teaching 5th grade and I’m so excited to continue my journey shaping young minds at Washington!
