Tina Ramp
My name is Tina Ramp. I have taught in BVSD for the past nineteen years. I have taught third grade at Columbine for the last 7 years. For the ten years before that I taught 5th grade. I have also taught 4th grade and 6th grade. Both of my daughters attended Columbine from Kindergarten through 6th grade! After finishing Columbine they went on to Casey, Boulder High School, and then the University of Colorado. We like to spend time together as a family skiing in the winter and hiking and biking in thesummer. My family now includes my husband, two daughters, two sons-in-law, a granddaughter, and a grandson. I recently completed my ESL endorsement and am now state certified in ESL. My courses have taught me to be a better teacher for all of my students. I am proud to be part of the wonderful teaching staff at Columbine.

This is my 5th year at Columbine, and I have taught grades 3, 4, and 5 here. I teach because I love the children! I believe we are all a respectful community, learning from each other. I have lived in Boulder for over 20 years, and I love to go hiking in the mountains. I also like gardening, reading, and learning more Spanish by conversing with my Spanish-speaking friends. I do my best to take care of the earth and to make it a more peaceful place!
