"Hi! I’m Ms. Keller, the new kindergarten teacher! This is my 5th year teaching, and with each passing year, I fall more in love with kindergarten! I’m all about silly songs, story time, and snacks (love snack time). I’m so excited to join this amazing team and help our littlest learners shine bright every day!"


"I'm so excited to be a part of the Blackland Prairie community this year! I have been teaching for 30 years and am just as passionate about teaching kids today as I was on my very first day. I believe that every child has a unique spark, and I love helping them discover the joy of learning.
When I'm not in the classroom, I have a few hobbies that keep me busy. I love to go on cruises and explore new places, and I also enjoy getting creative with crafting. If I'm looking for a quiet afternoon, you can usually find me with a good book or a fun puzzle.
I'm really looking forward to a fantastic year of learning and growing with all of you!"




"Hi! My name is Katie Ammon, and I’m so excited to join the BPE family this year! I’m 25 and looking forward to building strong relationships, creating a positive classroom environment, and supporting every student’s growth.
I earned my Bachelor’s from Texas Tech and completed my teacher certification through a residency program with Austin Community College, where I gained hands-on classroom experience and a passion for inclusive, engaging learning.
Outside of school, I love spending time with loved ones, reading, and exploring new places. I can’t wait for a year full of learning, growth, and great memories!"
