Hello, my name is Kristi Gray and I am so happy to be teaching at Safford!

You might wonder why I decided to become a teacher…my number one reason is that I have always loved working with children! I can’t think of anything more important than helping a child to enjoy and value learning.

When I first considered becoming a teacher, I decided upon three goals:

1.  I wanted to teach at a school that had history, charm and lots of culture.

2. I wanted to teach at a school that had the very best kids in all of Tucson .

3. I wanted to work with some of the best staff and teachers in Arizona .

Guess what? I found Safford K-8 Magnet School and I knew that I had found what I was looking for!

Some of My Special Things: My family and friends, books, art, hiking, animals, music and my kindergarten class! 

My future goals include: reading, drawing and hiking more often. I also to want to start bicycling and spending more time outdoors!

My favorite quote:

You can always tell the true character of someone by watching how they treat those from which they stand to gain nothing.
