My Name is Anne Nielsen and I am the Principal at Crystal Springs Elementary.

I have been in education for almost 25 years, teaching for 18 years; grades 1st - 6th, I enjoy building strong relationships with staff, students, families and community members. My goal as principal of Crystal Springs each year is to guide and support our staff and students to reach their highest potential, in a safe and nurturing environment.  I believe in the academic and social needs of all students. My goal is to ensure that all children are healthy, happy and safe so that they may grow their brain each and every day. 

I have an incredible husband, Wes, and two beautiful children - Savanna (18) and Luke (16).  People often say that I treat each child in my school as my own.  I believe that a school should function as a family and build a climate of trust and mutual respect.
