My name is Alex Simmons and I am so excited to begin the school year at Estes Park Middle School.  This will be my first year here and my fourth year working at the middle school level.  I am looking forward to working with students, staff, families, and community members throughout the year.  I have lived in Colorado for the last seven years, mostly down in the Denver suburb area.  After taking the last year off to travel, my husband and I (and our dog too) are excited to be back here so we can continue our hiking, camping, and skiing adventures.
