My name is Kristin Countryman and I am so excited to teach kindergarten at OES this year!  I love kindergarten and can’t wait to love on those babies!  I have been a teacher for 15 years and have taught 3^rd grade, 2^nd grade, and kindergarten.  I am a graduate of Athens State University where I received my degree in Elementary Education in 2006.  I am also CPR/First Aid certified.  I am happily married to Scott Countryman and we live on a farm in Steele.  We have 4 children:  Brayden works at UAB and is about to get married, Gracie is a student at JSU, Faith is a senior in high school, and Eliana is our little caboose in 1^st grade at OES.  Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family every moment I can. We love outside adventures!  I am a big animal lover, and love caring for my pets.  We are members at Meadowbrook Baptist in Gadsden, and live our lives to serve God.  I am excited about being an OES Saint!
