My name is Darcie Birch. I am the Reading Specialist here at Lowell Elementary. My passion as an educator is working with students of all ages and guiding them through their journey of learning to read. I love seeing students blossom and the pride they show as they become readers. My entire teaching career has been with the Boise School District. Prior to being a Reading Specialist I taught fourth grade, first grade, and was a Title I instructional coach. My undergrad degree is from the University of Idaho (Go Vandals!) and my graduate degree is from Boise State.
