Meet the Teacher!

  • Hello!

    My name is Susan Aldrich and I teach 1st Grade at Lewis & Clark Elementary. I am originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma but have lived in Missoula since 1998 - I love it here! Over the years, I have taught Kindergarten, 1st/2nd Multi-age, 2nd, 4th and 1st grade, all at Lewis & Clark Elementary! I love teaching and I love my school!  

    Outside of school, I love to travel, camp, hike, ski and spend time outdoors with my family!

    If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me: (406)728-2400 ext. 4376 or email ssaldrich@mcpsmt.org.  (Email is the fastest way to reach me.)
