Tammy Criger

Fourth Grade Teacher

My name is Tammy Criger, and I am a Fourth Grade teacher at West Ward Elementary School in Allegan, Michigan.

I believe that all children have the right to learn in a safe and friendly environment. I encourage my students to “Treat others as you like to be treated.” I also believe that there are three major factors in a child’s educational success, the child, the teacher, and the parent, each with very important responsibilities.

I graduated from Allegan High School and Grand Valley State University. I earned a BA in English Language Arts and my Masters degree in Educational Technology.

I have a wonderful husband named Shane and we have two sons name Preston and Hayden. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family and friends.
