Hellooo Sterling Falcons! My name is Nate Downs (Mr. Nate) and I'm a paraprofessional at Sterling Elementary. I was born and raised in Soldotna, Alaska. I love all things art. I play guitar, piano, banjo, and bass. I do ceramics and graphic design as well. I’m an extreme sports fan and will take any opportunity I can to go skate or snowboard, which, over the years, has led me to open a skate shop. I’m excited for this school year, seeing lots of familiar faces and some new ones!!
