Ms. Carroll’s Families, 

I am excited to welcome you back to school for the 2020-2021 school year!  I am honored to be your child’s teacher for second grade.  It has been a tremendous pleasure to be a member of the staff at LMES for the past nineteen years.  While at Lake Murray I have taught fifth grade and second grade.  In previous school settings, I have also taught first and third grade. My entire teaching experience spans thirty-six years.  I am happy to celebrate my twentieth year at Lake Murray and my thirty-seventh year teaching with you and your child!  The one thing that I know after spending all of these years in education is that I love to learn, and I love to foster learning in others.  

My life away from school is filled with music.  I sing with my mom in the adult choir  at Union United Methodist Church,  I also sing with the Sandlapper Singers. Music is a big part of my life.

I am a Carolina Gamecock through and through!  My dad coached football at Carolina, my brother played soccer there, and I sang in Carolina Alive.  My son, Christopher, graduated from USC, and I have a dog named Garnet.  Go Gamecocks!  

When I am not working on our classroom, singing or cheering on the Gamecocks, I enjoy crafts and reading.

I am sure that this will be a wonderful year of exciting learning!  I know that we face some challenges this Fall, but I hope that we will look at those with the anticipation of learning through them and with the expectation of grace as we navigate this together.  I am looking forward to getting to know your child as we move through a great second grade experience!

Ms. Carroll
