Currently, I live in Rossville GA with my husband and two girls.
Rachel Ottoway
Book Manager
Hello, I am Rachel Ottoway Kelly’s book manager. Here’s a little bit about me and what I do as the book manager. I grew up in Alaska, and moved to TN not to long ago. I am a student getting my bachelor’s degree in Teaching/ABT and love the ideas that come from Kelly. I am both a teacher and a book manager, roles that reflect my passion for learning and storytelling. As a teacher, I strive to inspire curiosity, encourage growth, and create meaningful connections with my students. As a book manager, I bring that same dedication to organizing and curating resources, ensuring that knowledge and stories are accessible to all. Together, these experiences highlight my commitment to education and my belief in the power of books to spark imagination through Calvin and Calley.
Jeannie Bagley
Book Manager
Hello, my name is Jeannie Bagley. I am another book manager for Calvin and Calley. I'm from Rossville GA. I work hard with helping Rachel keep everything going and organized from the little things like what supplies we need to help Kelly to the big things like where are we going next. I joined this team because I believe in what Kelly is doing. Our young kids need to know how to act in certain and I feel these books help teach kids and are great ice breakers for parents who might not know how to talk to their children about certain topics.
