Today we have our first Spotlight Department of the year! We are spotlighting our amazing ELA (English Language Arts) Teaching Staff. Our ELA staff works diligently to teach our students all aspects of reading, writing, novel studies, and grammar. In addition, our ELA Department does a variety of State (KITE Testing), and AimsWeb testing during the year. These tests measure our student's growth with reading fluency and comprehension; two skills that are essential for success beyond CCCMS! We appreciate the efforts of our ELA Department! Below is a little bit more about each teacher.
Mrs. Koster has been teaching 6th grade ELA at CCCMS since 2020. She has a total of 12 years in education. She lives in Clay Center with her husband and 2 children. Mrs. Koster enjoys reading, watching tv, spending time outdoors, and spending time with her family.
This is Mr. Austin Last's first year at CCCMS. He has lived in Clay Center since he was in 5th grade. Before becoming a teacher, he was a chef. He worked at several restaurants including 15-24 Brewhouse, which he helped open. His biggest passions outside of school are reading, cooking, and watching/coaching football. His family is the most important thing in his life.
This is Mr. Jon Kelly's fourth year at CCCMS. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and son who is a high school senior. His daughter is enjoying life as a military spouse in San Clemente, CA. He enjoys reading, movies with his kids, and reminiscing about cold and snowy winters in upstate NY as a child.
We are extremely lucky to have such an amazing group of ELA teachers!
