Hello! I am Annie Leaf, and I am so excited to be your Instructional Coordinator. I am originally from Arlington, Nebraska (a little town near Fremont). I have degrees from UNK in Elementary Education and Middle School math and English), Doane in Curriculum and Instruction, and UNL in Educational Administration.

I have taught a variety of subjects including 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades at Cavett and Rousseau Elementary Schools, 7th grade reading at Dawes Middle School, 7th and 8th grade English at Barr Junior High in Grand Island, and 7th-10th grade math at Palmyra Junior/Senior High School. I have also served as an Instructional Technology Coach and a Professional Learning Coach for Lincoln Public Schools at Rousseau, Roper, Lakeview, and Pound.

My husband, Jeff, works for the Lincoln Fire Department and is a Captain on Engine 7. We have two daughters. Kerstin is a senior at UNMC-Kearney where she is studying to be a nurse. Our oldest, McKinsey, is married and lives in Colorado Springs. She works on the display team for the new Scheel's store in Colorado Springs. She is also working on designing and sewing a formal wear collection for Omaha Fashion week in August. Her husband, Patrick, is in the Air Force and is stationed at Schriever Air Force Base.

Jeff and I have a rescue dog named Charlie, and we enjoy taking him on trips in our camper. In my spare time, I like to go on long walks while listening to audio books. I also enjoy crafting, baking, and spending time outdoors. Since the pandemic, we also host a weekly "Driveway Bingo" game for our neighbors.

I'm so excited to be a part of the Scott family and am looking forward to a great school year together!
