Katie Blum, Seventh Grade, Evergreen Class

Katie started teaching at Mountain Song in the fall of 2020 when she took on the Evergreen Class as 4th Graders. She is thrilled to continue to guide and teach this amazing class in their culminating 8th grade year! Katie was born, raised, and educated in Chicago, IL. She completed her undergraduate studies at DePaul University in Chicago, and received a B.A. in Psychology in 2007. She was overjoyed to find her calling in education and completed a Master of Arts and licensure program in Elementary Education at Saint Xavier University in Chicago in 2014. Her teaching career following her move to Colorado was in traditional charter schools for four years. Having always been drawn to alternative methods of education, Katie began her study of Waldorf Education in 2019 at Mountain Song and has been captivated and enthralled with the method ever since. Katie graduated from the Gradalis Waldorf Teacher Training Program this past summer. Katie has lived in Colorado Springs for nine years now. She met her husband teaching yoga here, and they have a toddler, Billy, who brings them much awe and delight.
