My name is Mrs. Cripe and I am so happy to be your 2nd grade teacher this year!! This is my 13th year teaching.  I am a proud graduate of Northridge High School.  I attended Ball State University for college and began teaching in 2008.  Orchard View Elementary is a great place!   Mr. Cripe and I have a 5 year old daughter named Bristol.  She is full of wonder and keeps us laughing!  We also have 2 dogs named Mylie and Winnie.  Everyone says they look like stuffed animals, but I can assure you they are not!  They're Cockapoos, a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle.  I enjoy photography, writing, hand lettering, crafting, shopping and decorating.
