4th Grade
FOURTH GRADE TEAM
| ANN GELLNER | ann.gellner@dcsdk12.org | Hello! My name is Ann Gellner, and I am one of the SME Fourth Grade teachers! This is my 35th year of teaching. I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 4th grades. I have a wonderful husband, Jon, whom I have been married to for 24 years. I have a 23 year old son, Holden, who is working for a land surveyor firm. My twin 22 year old daughters, Tessa and Tara, are seniors in college this year, studying English and Communications. I LOVE hiking, being in the mountains, reading, solving puzzles, watching movies, and exploring new places. I am proud to be a CUB! |

Hi! My name is Katherine Evans, and this is my second year at Stone Mountain Elementary! I am so excited to be teaching 4th grade again this year. I’m originally from the Chicago suburbs and graduated from Illinois State University in 2025. I moved to Colorado last year and have loved exploring all that Colorado has to offer! I love traveling, spending time outside, hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I’m looking forward to another AMAZING year! |

My name is Kylie Olson, and this is my fourth year at Stone Mountain Elementary. I love being a Cub and can not wait for the 2026-2027 school year. I made my teaching debut as a 6th-grade reading teacher here at SME, and I am thrilled to be starting my 3rd year on the 4th-grade team this year! I'm a graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder (Sko Buffs!) with a degree in Elementary Education and an endorsement in culturally and linguistically diverse education. I love spending time with my husband and family at Chatfield Reservoir, boating, swimming, at concerts, or just outside in general! I can not wait for this school year! |

After spending the last ten years teaching 6th grade math here at SME, I am very excited to be joining the 4th grade team! The 26-27 school year will be my 16th year as an educator and my 11th year teaching at SME. I grew up in Littleton, Colorado, and studied elementary education at the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating, I returned to the Denver area to begin my teaching career. When I am not in school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Garrett, our four year old daughter, Violet, and our silly black lab dog, Zia. I also love reading great books, traveling to as many places as I can, watching movies, going out to eat at fun restaurants, and enjoying the outdoors. I'm looking forward to another great year at SME! |
