My WHY:
I believe in thinking differently and living your life outside the box. I believe in having the courage to be different, to create, and to be innovative. Everyone has the capability to change the world.
My goal for this year is to encourage the fact that everyone brings something unique and different to the table.
About Me
Welcome to First Grade! My name is Kelsey Bourland, and I am blessed to be a part of the Lubbock Cooper East family this year! This will be my second year teaching since graduating from Texas Tech with my degree in Elementary Education!
I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, but grew up in a military family and moved around every two to three years, with my favorite stationing being Australia! I have been with my high school sweetheart, Levi, for close to seven years, and we have Ranger (our four year old German Shepherd), Lady May (Our six month old Black Labrador), and Frankie (our very cranky two year old orange cat). I enjoy traveling to experience new cultures, immersing myself in a good book, and hiking with my dogs!
I look forward to the 2023-2024 school year in the hopes that the school kids I am blessed with help me grow right alongside them!
