Saumya Kodippily

Ms.Kodippily’s love for education stems from being in her mothers Montessori kindergarten class as a child. Saumya’s mother was a strong advocate for her education and pushed her to work hard to achieve her dreams. As a part of a family of strong willed teachers Ms.Kodippily loved learning and always had her nose in a book. Saumya has B.A. in Art Education from SFSU and earned her credential at UOP. In her free time she likes to camp, cook spicy food and read short stories.

Lindsay Ruedi

My name is Lindsay Ruedi and I have been with the amazing Aspire Monarch community for seven years. I spent 4 years as a 5th grade teacher and moved on to becoming the 3rd-5th grade literacy specialist. I’m currently stepping in to teach 4th grade. Monarch is a truly special community. I love that over the years I’ve been able to teach multiple siblings from the same family. It has been so wonderful watching siblings grow up and become young adults! Our Monarch family really takes care of one another in times of need, and that’s a very special quality. Outside of Monarch, I love to work on my house. I have spent a lot of time over the years painting, gardening, building, and planting. I also love to spend time with my family and eat yummy food!
