Hello. My name is Lori Fossati and I am the first grade teacher here at Christ the King Catholic School. I graduated from Portland State University in 1989 and began my teaching career at St. Mary’s of the Valley Grade School (Valley Catholic) in Beaverton teaching third grade. In 1990 I started teaching fourth grade at Christ the King and the following year I moved to first grade. My husband and I went to high school together and have been married for 27 years. We have a sixteen-year-old daughter, who after attending Christ the King Catholic School for nine years is now a junior at La Salle College Prep Catholic High School. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, and taking long walks on the beach.
