🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Kalin Oliver 🌟
Fifth Grade Teacher | Suwannee Pineview Elementary

We’re proud to shine today's spotlight on Mrs. Kalin Oliver, now in her second year of teaching at Pineview! 💚

Her journey into education was inspired by someone who believed in her—Mrs. Marilyn Clark Daughtry, a teacher whose encouragement planted the seed for a lifelong passion. Now, Kalin is paying it forward by being a support system for her students, both academically and emotionally.

💬 "What I love most about being a teacher is being there for children who need someone to support and believe in them beyond just academics."

One of her favorite classroom traditions is the daily "Teamwork Task", where students collaborate on challenges that build communication, creativity, and critical thinking. 📚💡

When it comes to schoolwide traditions, Literacy Week is her favorite—a time when the joy of reading brings the entire Pineview community together through stories, guest readers, and shared experiences.

Outside of the classroom, Mrs. Oliver is a proud mother, an animal lover, and a passionate advocate for student well-being. She’s currently pursuing her dream of becoming a school counselor at Florida State University, balancing motherhood, graduate school, and her deep commitment to education.

Thank you, Mrs. Oliver, for your compassion, heart, and dedication. We’re so lucky to have you at Pineview! 🌱📘

🎶 Teacher Spotlight: Welcome Rachel Lott! 🎶

Join us in giving a warm SPE welcome to Rachel Lott, our new Music teacher! This is Rachel’s second year in the classroom, but she brings over 11 years of experience teaching private music lessons.

When asked what inspired her to pursue education, Rachel shared:

“I want to bring up the next generation of music makers and music lovers. In private lessons, my impact is one at a time. In the classroom, it’s multiplied. Some of my very first students are all grown up and creating amazing music everywhere they go—some are even teaching music themselves!”

What does she love most about teaching?

“When kids accomplish and achieve things they once believed to be impossible.”

While this is her first year at SPE, Rachel is excited to join in on traditions like the Teacher Talent Show, which she thinks will quickly become a favorite!

Fun Fact:
Rachel is a Suwannee High School alum, where her senior ambition was to “Change the world with my guitar.” She laughs that while she once imagined life as a famous rockstar,

“I’m still changing the world with my guitar—just in a way I never could have imagined. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything—not even for rockstar fame!”

We’re thrilled to have Rachel sharing her passion for music with our students. 🎸🎤🎼
