I would like to introduce myself as the new fifth/sixth grade teacher at St. Sava.  My name is Karen Johnston.  I recently graduated from Lakeland College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and a minor in History.  I have been married to my wonderful husband, Troy, for over two years.  We have a 17 month old daughter named Caitlyn.  Before obtaining my teaching license, I worked in the banking and finance industry for 13 years.

            I am looking forward to teaching both fifth and sixth grades here at St. Sava.  I believe both sets of students will benefit from the combined classroom experience.  I have always wanted to be a teacher.  I love interacting, working with and encouraging children to do their best.  I believe with the right tools and encouragement, children are able to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.
