Music that Describes Kris


Kris Mayfield was nominated by Sherri Mccullough, the parent of a student.

"Kris is practically magical in every way," said Mccullough. "From somewhere over the rainbow, she followed the yellow brick road, finding her golden ticket at the Academy of Innovation. She arrived bearing delightful gifts of accountability, integrity, honor, courage, and kindness, all gently layered inside the gift of learning. Mrs. Kris joyfully guides my eager learner with positivity, creativity, and her genuine love for teaching. Drawing from her tool basket, she uses singing, laughing, and imagination to thrill her students' hearts with lessons. My son wakes from slumber early every morning, eager to join in on these daily adventures, and I've watched the children race into the school to see who can get in first. Mrs. Kris has a kindness that is enchanting, and she shares her love with students as if they are her own children. As a parent, I could not ask for more than having a truly talented teacher who makes learning exciting, cares for our children as her own, and instills good virtue and self-discipline in our future leaders."

Mrs. Kris definitely has the magic touch! Her caring spirit helped my son’s transition to AOI 6 years ago and still plays a roll in his life. The social and academic growth we witnessed in him was due to Mrs. Kris being his biggest fan. We are forever thankful for Mrs. Kris.

Mrs. Kris is Amazing! My daughter attends AOI and had the pleasure of having her for her homeroom teacher for 4 years. She’s hands down the best teacher around. Every child that comes in contact with her loves her. She treats all students as her own. She truly cares about each child she comes in contact with. She makes learning fun and magical.

Ms. Kris has had a huge impact on our family, she taught my oldest for 3 amazing years and now we are on our 4th year as my youngest sons teacher and she inspires and impacts their lives on a daily bases. She is one to remember because she is amazing inside and out of the classroom. We are truly blessed to have spent the last 7 years with her!
