Hello, My name is Summer Clifford and I am 46 yrs old.. I was born and raised in AZ and moved to OR with my husband of 23 yrs, and two children, in 2022. We live in West Linn and both of my boys, ages 17 and 14, attend West Linn High School. I have been a substitute teacher for the West Linn School District for the past 3 yrs. Prior to that I was a full time teacher in AZ. I went to ASU and received a bachelor’s in Elementary Education and taught 3rd and 4th grade. After having my first son in 2009 I decided to become a stay at home mom. I stayed home with both my boys until 2018. When I decided to go back to teaching I became a preschool teacher and taught preschool until 2022. Both of my children went to Montessori schools from kindergarten all the way up to middle school. I love the Montessori method and am excited to be back in the classroom at a Montessori school.
