Welcome! I am so happy to be here at Wake Forest Elementary for this 2016-2017 school year!
About Me...
I am originally from upstate New York (Go Syracuse!) and moved to North Carolina in 2011 after I married my husband who was stationed at Fort Bragg with the Army. This will be my fourth year teaching 5th grade at Wake Forest Elementary. I received my undergraduate degree in History at SUNY Oswego in upstate New York, and obtained my graduate degree, Master's in Science of Teaching, from Cortland State.
I am looking forward to a fantastic school year with such a diverse group of learners!

1. I have a dog named Thorington Elliot Andersen-Cootware. He is a hound/lab/shepherd mix who thinks he is a human. You will hear A LOT of stories about Thor--he is most entertaining.
2. I am a vegetarian.
3. I love homemade popcorn.
4. I love to run.
5. I love old black and white movies.
6. I LOVE to read.
7. I have climbed a volcano before!
8. Fall is my favorite season.
9. I have a serious addiction to coffee.
10. I love that our learning environment is FUN and INSPIRING!
