Home

Hello, I am Mrs. Michelle Miller and I am very excited to be your child's first grade teacher for this school year!  This is my 25th year at Richland Elementary.
 
I am a Richland Alumni, a 1994 graduate of UPJ with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a 2002 graduate of IUP with a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I continue to be a "life- long learner" where I want to learn how to implement the best practices in my classroom.

My teaching career began in 1999 here at Richland Elementary where I was a fifth grade teacher. In 2001, I moved to first grade and have never moved since. I can honestly say first grade is my first love. I look forward to a fun school year of learning!

My husband, Chris, and our daughters, Jordan, Taylor, and Addison, reside in Davidsville, PA. Jordan is teaching at Forest Hills School District as a Middle School Life Skills teacher, Taylor is a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in neuroscience, and Addison is a tenth grader at Conemaugh Township Schools. We also have a  mountain curr mix, Harley.
 
Once again,  I have been given a great opportunity to co-teach with Mrs. Reefer.  Together we are looking forward to providing your children with the best education and year that we can.  We both take great pride in making sure every child feels safe and comfortable.  

I am looking forward to a wonderful year and learning more with your children!! They are truly an extension of my family.
