My name is Crystal Johnson. This is my 26th year of teaching, and I have spent the last 17 years teaching Kindergarten. Kindergarten is not for the faint of heart, but it definitely where my heart is!
My husband, Shawn, and I have two boys. Caden is currently a student at TCAT in Athens, and Tanner is a Junior at Meigs County High School. We have two fur-babies: our dog, Bandit, and our cat, Lilly.
In our free time, you will probably find us at a car show. While the boys are busy checking out all the cool cars, I can normally be found with my nose in a book. I love to read, and love that I can help introduce a love for reading in my students!

The last 5th grade class became authors in guidance class, we had a Career Fair with many different careers for the students to learn about, we learned really fun and important topics in guidance. One picture featured a "conflict resolution" lesson, the counseling programs Christmas assistance program also provided 25 of our students with a wonderful Christmas, and to end each school year strong I always bring my dog Biscuit to say hello!

Spotlight on teachers! Introducing Mrs. Samantha Mays.
My name is Samantha Mays, and I am a second grade teacher at Meigs North. This is my fifth year teaching second grade, and my third year teaching at MNE. I absolutely adore our school!
When I was young, I had many wonderful teachers who inspired me to pursue education as my career. I graduated as valedictorian from Central High School. Soon after, I attended Tennessee Wesleyan University and graduated in three years with my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Having the opportunity to pour into children every single day is something I am so grateful for. There is nothing better than seeing a child's confidence flourish as they learn new life and academic skills.
Outside of school, I enjoy photography, running, reading, going to church, traveling, and spending time with my loved ones. I have been happily married for almost three years, and love getting to do life with my husband by my side. I am thankful every single day that I get to be a part of the MNE family, and look forward to the rest of the school year.
