Mrs. Carpenter
Hello! I am Tamara Carpenter and I am the Art Teacher at SSE. I came to South Smithfield Elementary back in 1998, to start the art program. I am a graduate of North Georgia College, where I recieved my BS in Art Education (K-12).
I currently live in Smithfield. I am married and have three grown sons, a cat and a dog.
I love art and I love children so I think teaching art is perfect!!
