Hello! My name is Ellie Ackland, and I am St.Dominic School’s second grade teacher. I grew up in Apple Valley, MN. I graduated from the College of Saint Benedict with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. As a teacher, I strive to create an empowering environment for all individuals to go beyond where they think is possible. I want to create a nurturing space where all students feel seen and valued. As a class, we will practice celebrating all of the small victories each day has to offer.
While at Saint Ben’s, I continued to keep my love for dance largely in my life. I have a strong love for choreography and dance itself. I believe this creativity is brought into my teaching quite often. I am very excited to help with the spirit squad at Saint Dominic school this upcoming year! This will be such an exciting new experience to embark on. I am so grateful and blessed for the ability to begin my teaching career at St.Dominic School!
Position: 2nd Grade Teacher
