A little about me.

Hello! My name is Joshua Crew.

I am so happy to be here at Greenwood and teaching PE this year. I care a lot about getting active and am a staunch supporter in getting out for 30 minutes a day!

We're going to be learning a variety of sports this year, as well as our upper grove kiddos are going to have access to a personal fitness course. If you have any questions at all please shoot me an email!

A little about me.

Hello everyone, my name is Lexi Nelsen but my students call me Ms. Lexi! I just started teaching here in January, and I've been loving getting to meet all my students.

I just recently married my best friend and moved to the Northern Utah area, I absolutely love music and the way that it connects people, I could play pickleball or tennis every day, and I love spending time with friends and family, especially if it involves board games. ;)
I teach the specials music classes for K-5 and the Upper Grove Music Concepts class.  It has been so fun! In the specials classes, we have been learning to dance to Cotton-eye Joe and have been drumming on the African drums! In our Upper Grove class, we are really looking forward to our "Music in Cinema Project", where we will learn the difference that music can make in a movie, and then students will create a visual representation.

A little about me.

"Hi everyone! My name is Abby Pearson, and I am so excited to be joining the Greenwood Charter community this year. My journey here has been a bit of a whirlwind; I grew up across the East Coast and the South, spending time living in South Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Those experiences taught me a lot about adapting to new environments and meeting people from all walks of life.

I’ve lived in Utah for about three years now, and I’ve fully embraced the outdoor lifestyle here. When I’m not in class, you can usually find me hiking a new trail, hitting the swimming pool, or training in the gym with weightlifting. Staying active is a huge part of who I am, and I’m looking forward to bringing that same dedication and energy to my studies and school activities. I can’t wait to get to know my fellow students and teachers and contribute to the positive, hardworking spirit here at Greenwood!

A little about me.

I am Mrs. Ashlee! I am from right here in Ogden Utah. I grew up going to Venture Academy, a sister charter school in northern Utah, and I LOVE EL!  

I graduated high school and chose to serve an LDS mission, where I lived In Alberta Canada for a little over a year doing service for others. Once back in Utah I attended UVU for a year, as well as continuing my education through WGU. 

I was able to be a part of a company who works with children who have Autism. I absolutely loved being with those kids and developing more skills to better help them succeed in life.  I recently got married this summer to my husband Justin, and we are living our best lives! When I am not at work or doing school, I am spending as much time with him as possible.
