Allison Nelson

Allison Nelson

Teacher

Hi, My name is Allison Nelson.  At Summit Hills, I currently teach 1st grade. After 25 years of teaching private piano lessons, I decided I wanted a change of pace and started my first year teaching the 2021-2022 school year. I have an associates degree with an emphasis in music and a bachelor's degree from Western Governors University. I have 1 daughter, 3 sons and a grandson due in May.  We also have a full standard poodle named Dax. I enjoy all things active (Zumba, running, playing sports, hiking, etc.), playing games with my family, watching movies with my husband, listening to audio books, and baking.  My dream vacation would be a castle tour in Europe. I usually spend my summer break training for a race (I have ran full marathons but prefer halves). Our family also likes to go rafting and spending time in the outdoors. I would want my last meal to be at Long Horn Steak House; they have the best salads and steak in town! If I won the lottery and gave up teaching, I would spend a lot of time volunteering in the schools.  I love being with children and I find a lot of joy through their success.
