Hello Blazers, families, and community. My name is Michelle Turner and I am beyond excited to be your Dean again this year.
This will be my twentieth year in education. I spent 18 years in the classroom teaching third, fourth, and fifth grades and served as the ODE Dean last year. This is also my eighth year at Olive Drive Elementary. I have a special place in my heart for ODE as both an educator and as a parent of one current Blazer and one ODE alumni. This is a fantastic school and our staff works tirelessly to create a safe and caring environment.
My goal is to support our students, families, and staff as they learn and grow this year. Together we can make 2023-2024 an amazing school year.
I'm looking forward to serving your students this year and can't want to meet everyone. Let's have a great year!
