Mrs. Westerbeck

Hello.  My name is Tammy Westerbeck.  I am a 3rd grade teacher.  This is my 23rd year of teaching elementary school in North Carolina.  After graduating from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, I moved down south to begin my teaching career. I have taught every grade at one point from PreK to 6th.  My goal as a teacher is to make every child feel loved and accomplished.  All of the children I work with are cared for like I would care for my own 4 children.  Teaching is my passion and I strive to be the best teacher that I can be each and every day. I am so very excited to begin this new adventure of opening Thanksgiving Elementary this school year.
