I am Mrs. Mary-Ellen Thompson and I am married to a wonderful husband; Chuck and we have two amazing daughters.  Katie, (28) is a graduate of USC and lives and works in Washington D.C. Emma, (26) is also a graduate of USC and works in Columbia. In my spare time, I love to spend time on Lake Murray  either fishing, swimming , or going for a relaxing night time cruise. We also have 3 dogs to help fill our empty house since our girls are grown and on their own. Emma and her fiancee will be getting married in April 2020, so I am also keeping busy with wedding planning.  

I have recently returned to school to receive my Masters Degree in Education. This is my third year teaching 1st grade. I have 20 years experience in an elementary school setting and I have a strong passion for working with students.  It is my mission to instill a love for learning and for treat all others with kindness and respect. I want my students to become life long learners ready to change the world!
