I love the ocean!
And Tahoe! And the central coast! And paddle boarding and kayaking (even with my dog!)
I love books!
And writing!
And photography!
And traveling!
Family is the Best!

My name is Cheri Eplin and I have been at Greenbrook Elementary since 2006! I started out as a Vice-Principal, taught third grade, was an Intervention teacher, and have been with the fifth-grade team for several years now. (I love Greenbrook!)
Prior to being at Greenbrook, I was a Science teacher at Rancho Romero and a third-grade teacher, a principal in Castro Valley and I worked in Corporate Wellness as a Corporate Wellness Manager for several years!
I grew up in Hayward and attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and Kings College in London for my Bachelor's Degree in Science and earned my Master's in Teaching and Holistic Health from JFK University, where I also served as an adjunct professor for 10 years.
I have two sons, one of whom just graduated from high school, and the other one who lives in Wyoming as a fly-fishing guide/horse wrangler in the summer and a snowmobile guide that goes into Yellowstone in the winter!
I look forward to being back in the classroom this year, doing what I love, and loving what I do: teaching!

<I've always loved to write, so you know I'll be giving your kids A LOT of creative writing assignments!
I've also dated my boyfriend Bob for 12 years and we love to adventure together and we are both A's fans! (And Warriors fans!)
