Hello, my name is Mary Perin and welcome to my webpage.  This is my ninth year teaching in the Shoreline School District.  I taught 5 years in first grade and this is my fourth year teaching 3rd grade.  Before coming to Echo Lake Elementary, I spent three years teaching 1st and 2nd grade at a private school in Shoreline.  

I am originally from Seattle, Washington.  I graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.  I have also received my Masters in Education from the University of Washington. 

I currently live in the Seattle area and enjoy reading, cooking, running marathons, riding horses, and spending time with family and friends.  I also enjoy traveling.  Some of my favorite spots include Iceland, London, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

I am looking forward to another great school year working alongside the other 3rd grade classes to ensure my students achieve great success and have a memorable and fulfilling 3rd grade experience!
