Hello there! My name is Ellie Mindick and I am a teacher at Coolidge Elementary. I currently teach first grade and it will be my fourth year at Coolidge. I have been a teacher for eight years and have taught other grades, including Kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. I am truly passionate about being an educator and I enjoy working with students every day.

In my spare time, I am a volleyball coach and a dog sitter. I currently coach volleyball at Lawrence Tech University and play in tournaments on the weekends. I also recently graduated from Eastern Michigan University where I received my masters in educational psychology. Some of my other interests include traveling, sports, yoga, and spending time with my adorable baby nephew!

I look forward to meeting you throughout the school year and would love to learn more about your family. Coolidge is a wonderful place to be! Thanks for being a part of our school community and I wish you a happy and successful school year.
