Congratulations to Hollie Koehn, Glenpool School's Elementary Teacher of the Month for January 2026.
One of her colleagues writes, "Hollie is such a phenomenal colleague. She goes above and beyond to jump in wherever help is needed. She has subbed for classes during the first weeks of school, which are crucial for establishing routines and procedures. She is always willing to model effective mathematical strategies to new staff and works tirelessly to ensure that our students know that they can all be a "math person."
