2nd Grade Team
Hello! My name is Alysia Padilla and this is my fourth year at RMCA. I am so excited to begin another amazing year at this school. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with my Bachelors in Elementary Education with an endorsement in ESL. I have lived in Colorado Springs most of my life, and I am originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico. When I am not at school, I love being outdoors, drawing, watching football (Go Broncos!) and spending time with my family. I am also excited to be coaching our middle school cheer team this year! I am looking forward to a great year!
Hello! My name is Bailey Coulahan. This will be my 7th year of teaching, and my fourth year here at RMCA. I truly love being a part of the RMCA family. I graduated from University of Colorado, Colorado Springs with my Bachelors in Elementary Education and an emphasis in English. I have been married to my husband for almost 6 years now and we are proud parents to our 5-year-old son, Kyler, and our 6-month-old daughter, Marley. In our free time, we enjoy hiking and snowboarding in the mountains. I absolutely love teaching and being with kids. I can't wait for this school year to start...I have a feeling it's going to be the best one yet!
HI!! My name is Anna Hogan and I am so excited to be teaching 2nd grade at RMCA this year. I have my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and am in my 3rd year of teaching. I taught music for K-8 for a year and then have been in 2nd grade for 2 years. I have 4 kids, two girls (Aria and Kenna) and two boys (Evan and Jaksen). My three oldest are students at RMCA (5th, 3rd, and K) and my fourth will be joining us next year. My husband Kolby is a Firefighter/Paramedic and we have lived in Colorado Springs for 4 years. We are originally from Texas. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends! As a family we love spending time outdoors, camping and hiking in beautiful Colorado. We also love going to the movies, seeing Broadway musicals, and road-tripping to new and fun places! I am also a very busy dance mom, as both my daughters are competitive dancers. My sons are just getting started in sports and we're excited to see where their passions lie. We are a very active and loving family that love to have fun and support each other. I am so excited to be joining the RMCA family this year! I already love the atmosphere, support and every person I get to work with and look forward to many amazing years within these walls!!
Hello everyone! My name is Kalene Theis and this is my first year at RMCA, but my 6th year of teaching. I graduated in 2017 from UCCS with my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Spanish. I taught Spanish for one year, then first grade for 4 years. I have lived in Colorado Springs for most of my life and I don't think I could ever leave! I have 3 wonderful kiddos of my own- a 4 year old and 2 year-old twins. They are the best! In my spare time, I love to hike, run, read, and spend time with my kids, family and friends. My favorite thing to teach is reading, and I love seeing kiddos grow and succeed throughout the year. I am so excited to be here at RMCA, and to be teaching 2nd graders!
