Andrea Unruh - Ralph Downs Teacher of the Year

A little about me: I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and am the proud product of the University of Central Oklahoma. This is my 9th year teaching and my 9th year here at Ralph Downs! I have taught 1st, 4th, and 5th, but 4th has been my favorite. I have been married for 11 years to my wonderful husband, Ryan. We are blessed with 2 beautiful children, Zoey and Micah, and 1 sweet Corgi puppy named Piper. I love spending time with family, and on the weekends, we love to get together and have family game nights.
