Dear Parents and Students,

 I am excited to welcome you to our second grade classroom for the 2021-2022 school year!  I am so very honored to be your child's teacher this year.  You are your child's first, best teacher, and I am happy to join you in watching your child grow through this school year.  

It has been really wonderful to be a member of the staff at LMES since 2001. While at Lake Murray, I have taught fifth grade and second grade. In previous schools, I taught first and third grade. 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.  When it is possible, I sing in the church choir at Union United Methodist, and I sing with the Sandlapper Singers. Music is very important to me.

 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.  Go Gamecocks!

 My son, Christopher, is a teacher at Dutch Fork High School.   I am very proud that he is teaching and instilling a love of learning in others. I always enjoy any time that I get to spend with him!   

When I am not working in 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 am looking forward to getting to know your children as we move through a great second grade experience!

Ms. Carroll
