Hello, I am Judy Bartlett. I teach Grades 1-3. I grew up in a Christian home in Western North Carolina and have fond memories of listening to dad read Bible stories and taking walks in the forest. My husband and I have three grown children. Some of my favorite activities are reading, gardening, singing, and cooking. My degree is Elementary Education K-6 with a concentration in teaching Elementary Science from East Carolina University. I am currently working on a graduate degree in Outdoor Education from Southern Adventist University because the outdoors is my favorite classroom.
I love working with students. Seeing them feel confident and succeed is what brings me joy.
My name is Tracey Grove. I am the Child Development Director for the 3-6 year old age group. I have many years of experience in the classroom and being a teacher was my dream from the time I was six years old. I look forward everyday to create and implement lessons that my kids will be excited about. We learn so many things in my class and to see the kids actively engaged and loving to learn brings joy to my heart. I love kids and this age is my favorite. They are so excited about school and life in general and so full of energy! I want my classroom to be a place where every child feels welcomed, loved and safe. A place where learning is active and engaging. A place where kids love to come.
