Welcome to Kindergarten
Welcome to Kindergarten! I am Mrs. Anja Conklin, I have been teaching at St. Thomas More School since 2019. I was very excited to to start my teaching journey here at STM!
I was born and raised in the Everett/Lynnwood area and have always loved working with children! I was lucky enough to marry my high school sweetheart, Shawn, in 2003 and we have two amazing boys, Jaxon is 14 and Cameron is 11. We also have a very active mini Aussie, Maverick. When I am not teaching, I enjoy watching my boys play sports, going to lots of Mariners games, taking Maverick on walks and I love to run!
I look forward to a fun, positive and creative learning environment for your child!
