My name is Tiffany Manzanares and I am a Colorado native who grew up in Longmont and graduated from SVVSD. I also have my BA from Colorado State University and my MA from the University of Northern Colorado. I have been teaching for 19 years, and this is my eleventh year at Sanborn. I have taught Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade.

I love teaching and I am passionate about my students’ growth and well-being. I want all of my students to feel safe and cared for while in my classroom, so that they have the opportunity to learn and grow. I love helping first graders develop their foundational skills in reading and incorporating social emotional skills into our daily activities.

Outside of Sanborn, I love spending time with my family. My husband, two sons, two puggles and I love to watch Bronco games, go to the kids’ sporting events and have movie nights. I am an avid martial artist. I have my second degree black belt and continue to train and teach Muay Thai classes. I also enjoy running every morning.
