Hello! I am Brittanee Grove and this will be my 5th year teaching at Willard. I have been a Willard Wildcat my entire teaching career! I am getting married this October so I will become Mrs. Chelleen. I love to read, be outside, and watch the Cubs play baseball! 

Hello! My name is Kippen Larson-Gulsvig (but the kids call me Ms. Larson) and I am OVERJOYED to be teaching your fourth grader this year! This is my sixth year teaching elementary and my second year teaching 4th grade at Willard. I have experience teaching 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, including teaching at an international school in Ethiopia from 2016-2018. I graduated from Northwestern College in 2014 with an elementary education degree and a reading endorsement. In my free time, I love to be active and outdoors, spend time serving in my church, travel, be with family, visit coffee shops, go to concerts, and hang out with friends! Teaching is truly my passion, and I LOVE developing relationships and seeing students grow academically, emotionally and socially. It is a true blessing to be working at Willard and I’m so excited to have another great year here!
