WELCOME MRS. BALLANTYNE!
We are so pleased to welcome our counseling intern for the spring semester, Heather Ballantyne.
I am super excited to work with Virtual School House families. I am a graduate student at Boise State University and will graduate in May with a degree in counseling. While pursuing my degree, I worked as a K-4 drama teacher and a 5/6 ELA & Math partner teacher. After graduation, I look forward to continuing my work with youth and returning to my favorite hobby, which is stage performance.
I enjoy interacting with students and I look forward to meeting our VSH families.
