Bachelor of Science- Major: Elementary Education, Concentration in STEM

Mrs. Sayonna Adams

Welcome to First Grade!

My name is Sayonna Adams and I will be your child's teacher this year. I am excited to lead your child on their education journey this year. My reason for becoming a teacher is cliche but it's my truth; I love igniting the spark for a love of learning and watching students grow each year. I will do everything in my power to help your child during their time with me. 

This is my second year teaching, both years at Polenta. I graduated from NC State (GO PACK!) with my Bachelor's of Science- Major in Elementary Education with a concentration in STEM. 

A little bit about me: I am a mom. I have two handsome boys, Benjamin and Daniel, a Lab/Pit named Demy, and a cat named Alex. I have been married for 7 years to my amazing husband, James. I am a lover of coffee, chocolate, animals (especially wolves and dolphins), and cool rocks. In my scarce down time I love to break out my camera and snap some photos.
