My name is Ms. Candace Russell, and I’m from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. However, I’ve called Fort McMurray my home for the past 20 years. I’m a proud graduate of the University of Alberta, and I’m incredibly excited to join the Fort McMurray Christian School family and be part of such a welcoming, Christ-centered community.

This year, I have the joy of teaching the Grade 2/3 split class. I feel truly blessed to be here and look forward to walking this journey of faith and fellowship alongside our students, families, and staff.

As an educator, I believe in creating a nurturing, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where each child feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow both academically and spiritually.

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family, planning our next adventure, exploring a new corner of the world, or simply curling up with a great book and a good cup of coffee.
