Westran School District welcomes Richelle Childs! As a Westran graduate, I am thrilled to be joining the Westran teaching team this year! I started my work in education right here at Westran Elementary as a paraprofessional in 2011. This is where my love of teaching was born, encouraging me to pursue my Bachelor's degree in education at Central Methodist University. After earning my degree, I went on to accept a position with Moberly School District, teaching 5th grade for 6 years, then 8th grade English Language Arts for 3 years. Last fall I completed my Master's in Education with Northwest Missouri State University. My family is a huge part of my life. My son, partner in crime, and concert buddy, Colton will be a sophomore at Westran High School this fall. I'm an extremely proud big sister, to my siblings Kristopher and Corbyn, and living my best Auntie life with Kris' 3 year old twins Maverick and Lincoln! My parents are my foundation and I wouldn't be where I am today without them. In my spare time, you'll find me reading, traveling with my family, or working with my sister at Scooter's! Looking forward to my new role at Westran with enthusiasm and Hornet Pride!
