“Let the children come to me and do not hinder them,
for to such belongs the kingdom of HEAVEN.”
Matthew 19:14
I’m Mrs. Arildson and I have always loved being in the classroom. Look at the joy on my 6-year-old face as a first grader. I hope to bring that same joy into our classroom this year. I am blessed to be a part of your child’s educational journey!
I am a native Washingtonian, and live in Issaquah with my husband, Dan. We’ve raised three boys – twins, Sam and Jack, and “singleton”, Max Henry. I earned my teaching certificate through the University of Washington and my Master of Education degree from Seattle Pacific University. During my career as an educator, I have taught Kindergarten – 4th grades with the Archdiocese of Seattle, Bellevue School District, and Mercer Island School District. I have also taught 2nd-5th grade Faith Formation classes at my parish, St. Louise in Bellevue.
Looking forward to another wonderful year at St. Madeleine Sophie School!
