Hello, my name is Dawn Horak and this will be my eighth year teaching and my seventh year here at RMCA. I graduated from Emporia State University in 2013. My husband and I moved to Colorado from Kansas shortly after. We have two amazing children who both attend RMCA. My family and I love to camp, hike, and be with friends and family. I am looking forward to another amazing year.

I’m a Colorado Springs native. I absolutely love being outside where I enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, and playing golf. I also love all things health and fitness, cooking, writing, and design. In 2014, I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Education from University of Northern Colorado with a Reading Minor. This will be my 4th year of teaching. My three beautiful children (5, 7, & 9) all attend RMCA. I’m looking forward to an amazing year!

I am thrilled to join the first grade team at RMCA this year. After moving from Illinois to Colorado a few years ago, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Regis University. This is my seventh year as an elementary teacher. Prior to teaching, I worked in education as a special education paraprofessional. In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, three daughters, two sons-in-law, and two granddaughters. They keep me busy! I love living in Colorado and all of the beautiful sights that are so close to home.

Hello, I'm Theresa Osborn. I am happy to introduce myself as a First Grade Teacher at RMCA. This is my 6th year with this amazing school. I started my teaching career in 1985 after graduating from UNC in Greeley. I have taught Special Education, First Grade, Second Grade, and Preschool. I am a Colorado native yet I have lived in a few other states through the years. I live in Peyton with my husband of 37 years and a sweet Golden Retriever pup.

I am a first grade teacher assistant here at RMCA. This is my 8th year working at RMCA as a teacher's assistant. I have my RN license, and did private duty nursing with pediatrics and now volunteer as a nurse when needed. I love working at RMCA and have been blessed to work at the school my girls have attended since kindergarten. I love spending time with my family (husband and 2 teenage daughters). We love to play board games, go mini golfing, camping, traveling and enjoy spending time together. I was born in California but have lived here for most of my life. I love being able to be a part of the education of the first graders here at RMCA. It has been such a joy to get to know all the students that have been in the classrooms I've worked in and watch them grow from year to year.
