Hi! My name is Danielle Kuni and I'm proud to be part of the 8th-grade Civics and Economics team here at Trailside Middle School. I love coming to work every day and am inspired by our thoughtful and inquisitive students! I hope to make learning fun with engaging with interactive lessons. I also want to help students view content through different lenses so they develop perspective and a deeper understanding of the material. I try to make a positive impact on students every day!  

     I received my master's degree in secondary education with an endorsement in middle school social studies and my undergraduate degree in finance. When I'm not at school, I'm with my husband and two daughters. My oldest, Emily, is a sophmore at James Madison University, and my younger daughter, Madison, just began her freshman year at JMU as well.

    I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all! I can't wait to jump into this year's challenging and inspiring Civics content. I am available via email every day and will have office hours weekly.  

    I feel very lucky to be part of the Trailside team and hope to leave a positive impact! Go Timberwolves!
