Fifth Grade - Mrs. Johnston

This  is my 25th year of teaching. I previously was a special education teacher both here in Ellinwood and in Great Bend. This is my third year in fifth grade but I have been previously one of the first grade teachers. I am married to Kelvin and we have an 17 year-old daughter, Mahra, who is a senior here at Ellinwood High School. I also have three dogs and two cats- Izzy, Lola,  Abbey, Cricket , and Birdie. 

I grew up by a small town in north central Kansas on a farm. I graduated from Barton Community College and Fort Hays State University with both a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in special education.

In my spare time I love to be with my family.  Our daughter keeps us very busy with all of her activities but we love it!

All of my life, I have loved to work with kids. I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a teacher. Helping others learn is my passion. I love to see kid's faces when they do something they didn't think they could do. It is my goal to love on them and let them know they can do anything!
