My name is Ms. Jeleah Kreminski, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This is my tenth amazing year teaching at Athlos Leadership Academy. First grade is a truly magical year where you will see your child learn, grow, and blossom so much!

🎒 All About Me
I grew up in Crystal, Minnesota, and went to Metropolitan State University to study elementary education. Over the years, I have worked with lots of wonderful preschool and young learners, and I even served as a helper teacher for other educators.

I live in Brooklyn Park and have two big boys, Tavis (24) and Masen (19). I am also a proud grandma to a sweet one-year-old granddaughter named Emi! When I am not at school, I love to learn new things, play outdoors, spend time with my family, and dance while teaching Zumba at the gym! 💃

🏅 Our Class Mission
I love being a part of our amazing school. Athlos gives kids the skills they need to succeed all through life! This year, we will work hard on our reading and math, practice being kind and building strong character, and have fun staying active and athletic! 🏃‍♂️📚
