Ms. Lauren Derrick

My name is Lauren Derrick.  I am so excited to be your child's 1st grade teacher this year! I love working with students to expand their thinking and understanding.  This is going to be an exciting year with lots of new learning and adventures.  I grew up in Chapin, SC in the Lex/Rich 5 school district.  I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Newberry College.  I began teaching first grade at Chapin Elementary in August 2018!  I am looking forward to beginning our exciting journey through first grade together!
