Mrs. Ottenga

This is my third year as the media specialist at Meadowbrook. 

I absolutely love being in the library and seeing every student in the school through our 6 day rotation.
I have taught in the elementary classroom for 21 years, primarily in first grade. 

I am certified to be a K-6 classroom teacher and K-12 media specialist. I also have endorsements in reading and ESOL.  

Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.

        • We suggest keeping books in the students' backpack or desk when not reading them!
