Vocabulary and Literature

My name is Holly Russell and I teach Upper Middle School Vocab/Lit, (7th-8th), and am looking forward to the coming year.  I live in Blue Springs with my husband; our daughter and her family live in Lee's Summit, and our son and his family live on the naval base in Key West, FL.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Central Missouri and a Master's Degree from the University of Central Missouri. I retired after 28 years in public education and am starting my third year here at OLP.    I love reading and hope to instill that love in my students.  I enjoy golfing and outdoor activities. My husband and I love spending as much time as we can with our four grandbabies.   I am looking forward to being back in the fall with all our students.
