Hello!

My name is Matthew Spees and I am a resource room teacher and math interventionist at Page Elementary! This is my first year teaching at TK and I am excited to be a part of this community. I grew up in Caledonia, Michigan and received my bachelor's degree in special education with an endorsement in learning disabilities from Spring Arbor University where I also ran on the cross country and track and field teams. After I graduated from SAU, I moved back to Caledonia and completed my student teaching at Page Elementary in both the general education and special education setting. In that same year, I also worked as a paraprofessional at Lee Elementary before I was hired at Page Elementary in my current position. 

 

When not in my classroom teaching in my small groups, you may see me running, out on my gravel bike or mountain bike at the Yankee Springs trail, and spending time with my fiancée Rachael who is a school social worker at Barry ISD teaching social and emotional skills. We are getting married in December and we both enjoy helping our students who need extra support and seeing them grow and succeed inside and outside of the classroom!  

 

I am excited to return to Page and start my career in such a welcoming and supportive community and look forward to many more years of growth!
