Amy Brown teaches Third Grade at Indian Hills Elementary School in Pocatello, Idaho.   She began her career as the Early Childhood Librarian at the Marshall Public Library, then taught at the Idaho Virtual Academy for ten years.  She began her brick and mortar teaching at Indian Hills Elementary three years ago.  She is a member of the Building Leadership team at her school, and acts as a liaison between parents and teachers.  She attends PTA meetings regularly, and attends PTA events.  Many times, with Mrs. Brown's encouragement, her class wins PTA hosted contests like Box Tops, Copper Wars, and PTA membership.

         Amy is a mother of two teenage boys.  She shares lessons she and her boys learned with her students, and the students love hearing about her boys.  She occasionally has them visit the class to help with reading and to share the team work and hard work lessons they have learned on the basketball court.  Her role as both parent and teacher gives her a unique perspective that her coworkers say is open and thoughtful.
