Welcome! I am Karen Gillgrist, the Cross Categorical teacher at Eagle Nest Elementary School.  This is my first year teaching at Eagle Nest and I am very excited to be here.  My kids attended here so I know what a special place Eagle Nest is.  Previously I taught kindergarten through second grade special education.  I have my Bachelor's in Special Education and Elementary Education from Slippery Rock University and my Master's in Special Education from Indiana University.  I'm excited to work with you and your child and I'm looking forward to a great year with each of you.
