In 2006, Kris Mize was hired to start-up and direct a new preschool for River Oak. Unfortunately, the preschool application was denied by the local district and left her without a position at River Oak; fortunately for the school, in 2007, she was hired by River Oak to teach grade one (1). She brings extensive public school teaching experience to the school and her students. At Anderson Valley Unified School District, she taught junior high math from 1996 to 2003; fourth grade from 1994-1996; and served as a resource assistant from 1986-1994. Kris has lived in Mendocino County for thirty years. She has twenty-eight year old twins, Josh and Heidi, who live nearby in the Bay Area. She loves to garden, swim, read and work on craft projects.
