My name is Julie Spiroff. I have been employed by the Ann Arbor Public Schools since 1998 as a fifth grade teacher at Wines Elementary School.   I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a major in English and a minor in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my Master of Science degree in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well. Prior to moving to Michigan, I taught high school and middle school in the Madison area. While I am a Wisconsin native, I have lived in Ann Arbor since 1982. I received my certification in Elementary Education from Eastern Michigan University. I feel very fortunate to be able to teach each day since it is my passion.
