I would like to tell you a  bit about myself. I have been married for 35 years.  My husband's name is Alan. We have three children; Courtney , Connor , and Logan .  Courtney  is an administrative assistant at Bon Secours Emergency Room in Simpsonville.    Connor is married,  his wife is Dusti.   Connor graduated from Clemson University in 2015 and currently owns/operates B.W. Burdette Hardware store in Fountain Inn.  Dusti stays home with their daughter, Savannah (2 yr.)  . Connor and Dusti are expecting another little girl in January, 2024.   Logan graduated from Clemson University in 2018 and graduated from the  University of Georgia with a degree in Veteranary Science in 2022.  He is a veterinarian at Oasis Animal Hospital.  Logan is married, his wife is Samantha.   Samantha is a K4 teacher at Ivybrook Academy.  Logan and Samantha are expecting a little boy in December, 2023.  We are so excited about our precious new little grandchildren.

I graduated from Lander University with a degree in Elementary Education in 1990.   I obtained a degree in Early 

Childhood from Converse College in 2007. My husband and I started our family shortly after I graduated from college and we made the decision that I would stay home with our children. I went back to teaching private kindergarten when our youngest child started first grade. I taught K-4 for three years at Fountain Inn First Baptist Weekday Preschool.  I have taught First Grade and Kindergarten in public schools for the past 19 years.  I love teaching and working with children! 

I am looking forward to a great year filled with lots of learning and lots of fun with your precious children!
