Hello! My name is Stephanie Edwards and I am from eastern North Carolina. I graduated from East Carolina University with a Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for 12 years in North Carolina, and have received National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist. I have been honored to serve as the 2015-16 Teacher of the Year for Craven County Schools. I love to run, read, cook, eat, play music, be with friends and family, and I'm a big North Carolina Tarheels basketball fan! I love teaching because I think it is fascinating to watch brains at work! The children I teach have helped me grow in ways they can't even imagine. Happy teaching and learning!
Hi! My name is Betsy Gatchel and I joined the Title 1 team in 2016 from third grade. I am a graduate of Davidson College and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I earned my MEd in Elementary Education. I am certified in Elementary Education as well as in Reading K-12. I have been teaching in some capacity since 1993, working with ages from preschool through fifth grade as well as college students studying Early Childhood. In my free time you will find me spending time with my family, reading, baking or exercising. I look forward to another successful year working with young readers. Seeing the light of learning click with them is my goal, along with instilling a love of what reading can do.
