Hello! My name is Ms. Kat (Kat Waddell Souser). Welcome to our Kindergarten class. This 16th year as a teacher and my third at Skyway. This year we will have many wonderful adventures learning and growing together. I earned a BA in Elementary Education from the University of MN (2005) and a MS in Education from Walden University (2015). I am licensed to teach in Alaska, Washington, and Idaho. 

When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking and exploring with my two kids, husband, and our dog. I look forward to learning and growing with this year's young scholars.
