Wendy McKechnie has been teaching for 19 years. She has taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education and a Master's Degree in Literacy. Wendy also obtained her National Board Teaching License. She loves challenging students and encouraging them to be their very best.

Wendy got married in 2005 to her husband, Kevin, a fire captain with the Truckee Fire Department. They have two young boys, Carter and Brody. Wendy is originally from Chicago and considers herself a ""city girl"" that married a ""mountain boy."" Since her family loves the outdoors, you can occasionally see her camping and getting a little dirty...but not very often!

Wendy loves spending time with her family. They love to travel and stay in hotels that have swimming pools. She loves to read and in her ""spare time"" watch bad reality tv. She is an extremely positive person and is usually always smiling! :)
