| About Our School: |
| North Columbus Elementary opened in August 2006 as the first C.L.A.S.S. school in Georgia. NCES is also unique in that students in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grades "loop" to the next grade with both their classmates and teachers. |

| About me: This is my third year at NCES, and my eighth year of teaching. I have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade. I earned a B.A. from Saint Martin's College, a M.S. from Troy University, and a Gifted Education Endorsement from West Georgia. I have two children. J.P. is a senior at Northside High School, and Caitlin is in the 8th grade at Blackmon Road Middle School. My wonderful husband, John and I have lived in Columbus for ten years. In my free time I enjoy running. I travel to the beach as often as I can! |
| The C.L.A.S.S model's foundation is based on brain-based learning, and incorperation of "Life Skills". Within the model, students not only experience exciting, hands-on lessons, but learn vital skills that help them to get along with classmates, communicate their feelings, and handle emotions. Looping and school SCOPES facilitate a sense of community. At North Columbus Elementary, each child is treated as an individual. His / her interests, strengths, and learning styles are not only acknowledged, but are the basis for instruction. |
