Crystal Thornton joins Austin Road Elementary as the Media Specialist.

"I love that I have the opportunity to teach students and work with wonderful teachers to promote a love for lifelong reading. Seeing children read books that they enjoy makes my heart happy!"

"I am married to Paul Thornton who teaches at BASA and we’ve been blessed with two children, Wilson who is 11 and will attend AIM/CFIT next year and Alys who is 8 and will be in 3rd grade at Austin Road Elementary. We have two cats named Bella and Bingo. We have honeybees and recently added chicks to our family."

Interests: "A few of the things I enjoy most are traveling, running, reading, teaching, spending time with friends and family and watching football (Go Dogs)!"
