Meet Miss Tanner Willis, Fourth Grade Teacher
Hello! My name is Tanner Willis, I am a 4th grade teacher here at Oak Grove Elementary. This will be my second year teaching. I taught 5th grade in Nebraska last year. I graduated from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, where I got my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I am currently furthering my education and getting my Master's Degree in Educational Administration.
I grew up in Aurora, Nebraska, which is about 4 hours from Turner. When I am not in school I enjoy being around my family and friends. I am very close to family, and we can't forget an important part of the family our yellow lab Tank! This June I got married to my husband Rylan. We moved to Kansas City this summer so he can attend Cleveland Chiropractic School. Some of my hobbies are, being outside, going to the lake, fishing, watching Huskers football (no matter how much they disappoint us), reading books, and listening to music.

Student Birthday Celebrations
Due to time constraints and to minimize disruption to instruction, birthday celebrations will be limited to no more than 15 minutes and occur after 3:00 PM. Up to two parents or adults may attend the celebration with 24 hours notice to the teacher and prior approval from administration. Due to limited space and supervision, siblings are not able to attend. In addition to birthday celebrations, parents may eat lunch with their child within the designated areas. As a reminder, all visitors must provide official identification and be run through our background check system.
As indicated in the district’s student handbook, we follow Health Department recommendations and only allow food which is commercially prepared to be brought to school parties and special occasions. All treats must be store bought and sealed in original containers to be served at classroom parties and school activities. No homemade items may be served at school.
