2. Meet Lynne Snyder Chinook Elementary, Primary SLC teacher
Hello! A little bit about myself… I have enjoyed living in the Auburn/Enumclaw area for over 30 years with my husband, Brocc, four children, a growing number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, cows, ducks, chickens, dogs, cats and one very special llama named Lily! In my free time I enjoy living on our certified organic farm and being a part of this special Chinook community.
My educational journey has taken me through four universities earning degrees in Transportation, Early Childhood, Youth and Families, and most recently Education from Pacific Lutheran University. I must say that I enjoy teaching in the SLC classroom at Chinook the best. 
I look forward to coming to work each day and seeing students makes my day! I will ask them to apply effort and try their best.
I love working with students and helping them make gains towards independence. I would like to thank the families in Auburn for the opportunity to teach their wonderful children.
