EMS Parents, please welcome our new Art teacher, Kelly Gilleece!!
Hello! My name is Kelly Gilleece, this will be my first-year teaching art for this upcoming school year of 2023-2024 and I am excited to be starting out at JCN's EMS. I graduated from Academy of Art University with an emphasis in art education. I live in Valley Falls with my grandmother, Martha, and my 12-year-old son, Alucard who is full of energy and always keeps me on my toes. I am also involved with 4-H and had some added duties this year with becoming the visual arts superintendent and hoping next year to start the cat project in Jefferson County. I do have several cats and a goldendoodle named Amy Jo. I look forward to meeting you all and let’s have a wonderful creative year!


EMS families, please welcome our new 5th grade teacher, Amanda Smith!!
I'm so excited to join the Charger family! I began working in education as a sped para in the 2014/2015 school year at McLouth and truly loved that job. In 2018 My administrator at the time started strongly encouraging me to get my degree in elementary education. I enrolled in WGU in 2019, completed student teaching in the spring semester of 2021and started teaching 4th grade that fall, also all in McLouth. My husband Jeremy and I bought a house outside of Nortonville in the summer of 2020 and our family of 5 lived in a camper as we renovated the 100+ year old house. We have 3 fantastic kids. Our son, Clayton, will graduate this year as a rival Bulldog. Our oldest daughter, Addi, will be a sophomore at JCNHS. She was actually the first to join the Charger family last spring. Our youngest daughter, Eryn, will be joining me at JCN EMS as a 4th grader. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
