Meet Miss Duerksen

Hi parents! 
I’m Miss Duerksen, a kindergarten teacher here at Park 
Ridge, in my second year. I love the Kinder grade level and 
will do my best to make certain your child is ready for first 
grade.
I played soccer from the age of 4 and continued my 
amateur sports at the collegiate level at Metropolitan State 
University of Denver where I received my BA degree in 
Elementary Education.
I’ve got family here in Nampa, especially my nephew 
Andrew who just turned one. I enjoy my time with family
on the pickle ball court, fishing, bike riding, hiking—just to 
name a few. I enjoy CrossFit, making certain I get to the 
gym every day before school. Let’s make our year a 
successful one by supporting one another.
Love,
Miss Duerksen
