Biography:
Hello, my name is Lauren Cramer and it my joy to teach seventh grade life science and advanced science at BSMS! I am also one of the Gifted Facilitators and I provide instructional support for our gifted students. I am proud to sponsor the Jr. Beta Club and Purple PEARLS organization where I have the privilege of spending time with some of our amazing students! Teaching at BSMS is very special to me because I am a former student and I graduated from VRHS in 2008. I am very passionate about science and creating a healthier world for us to live in. Helping my students grow in their science knowledge and reaching their full potential in their education is one of my priorities. Even more, I am committed to building relationships with my students and helping them find their place in our school. I LOVE what I do and I always look forward to getting to know my students and their families.
Some of my hobbies include traveling, being outdoors, reading and baking. My husband, Jeff, and I have been married for twelve years and we have two beautiful daughters, Sydney (6) and Olivia (4). We also have two fur babies- Nash (yellow lab) and Bailey (cat).
