Welcome!  My name is Kristen Blazek and I am the Elementary Support Teacher at Buchanan.  In my job, I wear many hats.  I support children academically, behaviorally, and social/emotionally.  Although, I am not a therapist, I can help your child with basic friendship skills and things that they might be struggling with at school.  If your child has a more serious issue, I can provide a list of therapists that could be of assistance.  If your child has a medical issue and is required to have medicine at school, please email me and I can get you the correct forms in order to help keep your child safe.  

I have been teaching for 25 years, 24 of them have been at Buchanan.  I have been a Reading Recovery teacher and have taught kindergarten, second, fourth and sixth grades.  I received my undergraduate degree from Michigan State University (Go Green!)  and my M.A. from Eastern Michigan.

I grew up in Canton and currently reside in Commerce Township with my husband Jeff, daughter Ashley, and son Dalton.  Outside of school, I love watching my son play soccer and march in the drum line.  We have a very energetic dog named Diezel. 

I look forward to working with you and your family.
