Elementary Latin
Salve! I am so excited to be your Elementary Latin teacher again this year. This year will be my 4th year at RMCA, and it is my 8th year as a teacher overall. I originally grew up in Ohio, where I attended The Ohio State University and graduated with a major in Classics and Education minor. I moved to Colorado in 2019 and have been loving it ever since then. When I am not at work, I love to be outside and active hiking, playing golf, riding my bike, or just enjoying the sunshine. I also love to travel and spend time with family. I can't wait for this year!
Library
Hello RMCA Families! My name is Kamrine Finney. I have been part of the RMCA community since the school opened in 2006 and have taught Library classes here at RMCA since 2011. I have loved watching your students grow throughout their years and am looking forward to another great year with lots of reading, learning, and exploring.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Elementary Art
Hi, I'm Michelle Isham (or Mrs. I) your Elementary Art teacher! I am thrilled to be entering my third year as part of this incredible team, and feel so blessed to have my own children here as well! After graduating with my Bachelors in Fine Arts from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, I have had the pleasure of working as an artist in the community for about 20 years. I am very excited to share my passion for the arts with our students! I love connecting with the students in the safe, warm environment that is RMCA. My hope is for them to grow artistically, make inter-disciplinary connections that enriches their learning experience, and inspire a life-long love and appreciation for creating.
Elementary P.E.
Hello, my name is Chad Linkey and will be the Elementary PE teacher this year. This will be my second full year at RMCA and I am very excited to start the year of strong! This will be my 9th year as an elementary PE teacher and have coached basketball for boys and girls for 7 years. Sports and Exercise are my passion and a large portion of my life goes towards either watching or playing sports myself. My wife and I just moved to Colorado about 2 years ago from Phoenix, AZ and we have loved every minute of it (especially not having to deal with 115 plus temps anymore). I am really looking forward to building a strong PE program and having a fun and safe place where the students can come and learn and develop in the realm of PE!
Elementary Music
Hello, I'm Ms. McGee! Or Ms. M, for short. I want your kids to love music and all of its aspects as much as I do, so I strive to make my music classroom fun, engaging, informative, and safe for your growing musicians! I have played violin for 16 years, and playing has let me travel all over the world. Although I am an Air Force brat, I call Colorado Springs home. I love cooking, knitting, watching movies and tv shows, and kayaking with my husband. I am so excited to spread my love of music to yours students!
