Mrs. Destiny McLamb
Hi! My name is Mrs. McLamb! I am so excited about this school year! I attended Benson Elementary as a child and always knew I wanted to come back to the place that inspired me to teach. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Campbell University. This will be my second year teaching at Benson Elementary. I am thrilled to be spending this year teaching the most awesome group of second graders! I will be teaching as a second-grade virtual teacher this year and though it will be much different than usual I am excited to make this year full of fun, LOTS of learning, and new adventures for my second-grade students virtually. Always feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
