Ms. Forrest
My name is Mickey Forrest and this is my tenth year teaching reading intervention at Aurora Academy Charter School. My background and experience ranges from preschool to elementary education, high school and elementary special education. I have a dual Bachelor of Science degree in elementary and special education from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
I have been teaching for many, many years and enjoy working with elementary school aged children. Teaching children to read has been my passion for a very long time and I enjoy the reward of watching the progress from the beginning of the year to the end of the school year!
I have two children of my own. My son is 22 and my daughter is 31. They both live here in Colorado.
If your child is a student in one of my reading groups; please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions concerns or ideas to keep your child reading to achieve grade level success!
Mr. Keller
Hello! This will be my seventh year teaching at Aurora Academy Charter School! I taught 3rd grade for my first four years and am very excited to continue my role in reading intervention for a third year. I have truly enjoyed my time here so far, getting to know the students and families. Reading is the key to unlocking the world, and I am passionate about helping students gain the skills necessary to explore books!
My dad was in the Air Force, so we moved around quite a bit for the first few years of my life, but settled in Colorado in 1995, and we’ve been here ever since. I’ve lived in this community forever and love it! (I still remember when Havana Gardens was Buckingham Mall with a Joslins). I spent my childhood in the Cherry Creek School District, and I received my Bachelor’s in Human Development and Education in 2015. I like taking advantage of the nature Colorado has to offer, no matter the season- snowboarding in the winter/spring, hiking in the summer/fall.
I look forward to working with new students, as well as continuing to work with students I have had in the past, and the parents as well. It truly takes help from everyone to help students be successful- please do not hesitate to call/email me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions!
