Meet Your Teachers

   

Welcome 2nd graders to a new school year! My name is Mrs. Smith, and I am thrilled to be your teacher for the 2009-2010 school year. As a native of Marietta, GA, I am an only child (who wanted siblings--smile!) with family living in Georgia, South Carolina, and Maryland. After graduating from high school, I traveled to Tuscaloosa, AL where I received a triple certification from the University of Alabama in early childhood, elementary, and special education. While working at Lockheed Elementary for Marietta City Schools, I received a Master's degree at Kennesaw State University. There, I was fortunate to get to know two wonderful ladies in my cohort--Phyllis Nichols and Lisa Harrison. Both helped me to get a job at the wonderful GM, where I've taught for three years for a total of nine years teaching experience.

Last summer, I was blessed to have married my husband, Russell Smith. Despite the fact that he's a BIG Georgia fan and graduate, we get along pretty well (smile). This July, we'll be celebrating our one year anniversary in Seabrook Island, Charleston.

At the beginning of May 2009, we became proud parents...of a chocolate lab puppy! While housetraining and training in general have been a challenge, she is precious and smart too.

Please don't hesitate to email me if you have any question, concerns, or joys. It is such an honor to teach your child and work with you this upcoming year.
