Hello!
My name is Rachel Frank. I am a kindergarten teacher at Prescott. I began teaching at Prescott in 2009. Before teaching at Prescott I taught early childhood and elementary in Mexico. I come from a family of educators. My mother recently retired from teaching elementary in LPS, my father is a law professor, and my sister teaches elementary in Minneapolis, MN.
While living in Mexico I met my husband, Luis. We lived in Mexico until our daughter, Eliana, was born (2007). Seven years later our son, Elias was born.
In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending time with family and friends, reading, and being outdoors. I have a passion for travel and have been able to travel to Bangladesh, China, Mexico, Guatemala and England. I also enjoy speaking Spanish and learning about other cultures.
