Heather Gunter

Preschool

Hello, my name is Heather Gunter, This is my 13 th year in Education ranging from Preschool to High School and a few rewarding years in Special Education. I attended RCC and SOU and primarily worked as a Reading Specialist. I am on my 2 nd year at Buttercup Hill teaching art, math and science. I am a wife of 23 years and a mom to a 22-year- old College Student. When not at school you can usually find me walking my dogs (I have three) or working on various wood and craft projects.

BS in Elementary Education from George Fox University

Hi Friends, I am so lucky to have started my education career here at ButterCup Hill. I received my BS in Elementary Education from George Fox University and will be continuing my education at GFU for my MAT. My high school sweetheart and I have two wonderful children; a little boy and a little girl. When not at school you can find me spending time with my family, baking, or doing all manner of DIY home remodeling projects.

Grew up on a small family dairy farm near Spokane Wa. Met my husband at WSU and we began traveling with his work. Have lived in Louisiana, Idaho, Wisconsin, Colorado, British Columbia, and now Oregon where we are raising our two children. Both of which are Buttercup alum.

Jamie Nelson

Pre-Kindergarten

I grew up in Boise, Idaho before making Oregon my home after college. I’m married to my amazing husband and we have two fantastic children and one labradoodle. When I’m not pouring my heart and soul into Buttercup or enjoying quality time with my kids you can find me organizing or helping run my best friend’s Etsy shops while listening to podcasts. My family loves adventuring around Oregon, road-tripping to Idaho to visit family, and escaping to Disneyland.
