Hi! My name is Julian Crawford, and I have been teaching for 4 years. I currently teach 1st grade at Atkinson Elementary School. I love helping students grow both academically and personally, and I’m passionate about creating a positive, supportive classroom environment. I also love when my students read to me! Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family.  I’m proud to be a BEAR and excited for a great year at Atkinson!
