Hello everyone and welcome to Flagstaff Junior Academy. My name is Marie Crook and this year will be my 5th year working for FJA. For the past 4 years I have had the pleasure of working in the Children's House with Ms. Barbara. It has been such a wonderful learning experience and great fun working for FJA. I am very proud to tell people that I work for one of the best and most excelling schools in Flagstaff.

I graduated from NAU with a B.S.B.M. and have received my Montessori diploma from NAMC for the Primary level. I am currently pursuing my Arizona Teaching Certificate.

I have been married to Dwight for 35 years (Dec.) and we have two sons and five grand-daughters (two of which attend FJA). My husband and I believe that FJA and the Montessori-Based philosophy as well as this method of teaching creates a healthy and well-rounded environment for all children.
