I have been at Polenta Elementary for 10 years, where I have taught 1st and 2nd grade. I taught 1st grade for five years and this upcoming year will be my fifth year in 2nd grade. This year I will be teaching my class virtual! I am very excited about this upcoming year and the new adventures we will have!
My favorite drink is Propel Water. I love Peach or the new Vitamin Boost Propel Apple Pear flavor.

Updated Social Distancing Procedures
Information on social distancing in school settings has been recently updated by the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS). Upon receiving information from the NCDHHS, we consulted with the Johnston County Public Health Department on the impact these updates will have on our school system. This ongoing collaboration continues to guide our decision-making as students return to classrooms for in-person instruction.
