My name is Kelli Johns, and I am looking forward to spending this school year with your child. I have 17 years of teaching experience, and this will be my 11th year teaching first grade at Richland. I love the challenge of meeting the various developmental needs and learning styles of young children while fostering a love for learning. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our five children (who all attended Richland!) and our 2-year-old grandson. My hobbies include walking, gardening, knitting, sewing, and cheering for my sons and the CBHS and Birmingham Southern Lacrosse teams. My goal is to keep communication open with parents, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or questions.
