About Ms. Ralston
My name is Bailey Ralston and I am so excited and proud to be a part of the Flagstaff family! I grew up in the SVVSD district and graduated from UNCo in 2021 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I worked in Flagstaff for a year as part of my student teaching and knew immediately that this was the school for me. After graduating, I taught in LaSalle for two years - one in 3rd grade and one in 2nd. At Flagstaff I taught 3rd grade for two more years before deciding to make the switch to 5th. I love a new challenge and I can't wait to have my best year yet! I strive to run a classroom where all of my students feel challenged, supported, welcomed, and accepted!
Outside of school, one of my biggest hobbies is reading. I was a nightly reader all throughout my schooling and still try to fit it in as much as possible. My goal for this year is 75 books! Hopefully, by the end of the year, we will all be a class full of readers. I also like to figure skate and joined my college team as a beginner. I have competed once and hope to eventually test my free skate and moves in the field. Other hobbies include painting, weightlifting, seeing live music, and flow arts. I live with my partner and our two dogs Daisy and Arsenal. We do a lot of hiking and like to all travel together.
I look forward to getting to know you and your students! Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have any comments, questions, concerns, or just want a chat!
