Ms. Mia Pollard

I am so thankful to be beginning my career as an educator at Polenta Elementary! I grew up in Johnston County and I am a product of Johnston County Public Schools. I attended North Johnston High School and graduated in 2015. After high school, I moved to Greenville and graduated in May of 2019 from East Carolina University (Go Pirates!) with my degree in Special Education - Adapted Curriculum.

When I'm not in the classroom, you can probably find me in the dollar section of Target, or hanging out with my two rescue pups Genghis and Winry.

I hope to make our classroom an engaging, safe, accessible space for our students and I can't wait to see what this year holds!

Supply List

Below are the items needed for each student in our class!

3 Spare sets of clothes
(2 short sleeve shirts, 1 long sleeve, 3 pair of pants, 3 pair of underwear, and 3 pair of socks)

2 Glue sticks

2 Pencils

1 Pencil box (Plastic box with snap lid preferred)

1 Plastic folder with pockets. No prongs please, but any design is fine!
