“When I’m not teaching, I enjoy word searches, reading, singing, and spending time with my family. I look forward to learning more about how to teach lower school students as I complete my student teaching rotation. I’m even considering making the switch from high school to elementary thanks to my time here with these wonderful kiddos!”

Welcome, Ms. Adams!
