Dear LMES Parents,

I cannot wait to learn and grow with your children this year!  Kindergarten is such an amazing grade!  You will get to see your child grow tremendously this year-academically and socially!  

This will be my seventh year teaching at Lake Murray Elementary School.  I am blessed to work with amazing students and teachers.  I grew up in Lexington/ Richland 5 and am so excited that I have been able to come back and teach in this amazing district.  I graduated from the University of South Carolina with an Undergraduate Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and with a Master's degree in Language and Literacy.  Go Gamecocks!!

I decided that I wanted to be a teacher when I was in third grade.  My third grade teacher made such an impact on my life and I knew from then on that this was the profession for me!  I have worked with young children for most of my life.

When I am not at school or at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, shopping, going to church, watching movies, and going out on the lake.  I got married in July 2014 to my best friend, Jordan!  We now have two puppies and a baby.  Our sweet puppy Marley is 4 years old and Addie Mae is 2!  We welcomed the newest addition to our family, our sweet baby boy, Jax, this past March!  We enjoy spending our free time together!   

I am looking forward to a great year!!  Let me know if I can help you or your child in any way.

Sincerely,
Sydney Quarles
