Meet Kristie Kruse, an exceptional elementary band teacher who brings music to life for her students!<\/p>\n
Teaching across multiple buildings, Ms. Kruse navigates busy schedules with a smile and a can-do attitude. Her positivity is contagious, and her love for students shines through in every interaction.<\/p>\n
She fosters a passion for music in her students and challenges them to dream big, encouraging even first-year students to set their sights on state competitions. She is a true advocate, cheering for students well beyond elementary school as they continue to grow and achieve new goals.<\/p>\n
Thank you, Ms. Kruse, for inspiring students to believe in themselves and discover the joy of music!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14781,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[7],"class_list":["post-14780","news","type-news","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-district"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/hillcrest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/14780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/hillcrest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/hillcrest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/hillcrest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/hillcrest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/hillcrest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
