Mrs. Kristie Lawrence
Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Kristie Lawrence. I am a 2004 graduate of NC State University in Raleigh, N.C. I taught English and Study Skills at Broughton High School before moving to Johnston County to teach middle school Language Arts. I live in Smithfield with my family. My son is in Eighth Grade this year. We enjoy spending time at church, NC State football games, New River National Park in West Virginia, and most importantly, at home! I absolutely adore our Smithfield Community! If you are ever curious regarding what we are working on in class, please send me an email! Or, you may have your student pull up his/her Google Classroom Account! Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!
