Dear Fountain Inn Families, 

Hello, I am Mrs. Baxley, your child's teacher. I am excited about our new school year together. We will explore books, words, letters writing, math numbers, science, social studies and social emotional learning.

We are going to have a great year, filled with learning and fun. This will be my third year at Fountain Inn.  It is a blessing to work at such a great school! I am highly qualified in ED special education, with a bachelor in science and a minor in psychology. I have taught in special education for fifteen  years, two in Florence County and thirteen in Greenville County. I have also taught in a private school for four years and was a curator at Roper Mountain Science Center for one year. I love Roper Mountain and continue to teach science summer camps there. I have taught camps there for the past fourteen summers. I live in Mauldin with my husband Andy, son Andrew who attends Southern Wesleyan University as a junior and daughter Emily who attends Hillcrest High school as junior.

Miss. Alanna ,  our paraprofessional, has been with our class for over a year and a half.  She has worked with children for over seven years. She is from the Hickory Tavern/Laurens area. In her free time she loves to travel, watch movies and tv and play with her animals. She has one dog, a miniature schnauzer named Dude, a gray cat named Blue, a horse named Loretta and some cows.

Ms. Lindsey, our paraprofessional, has been with our class since last year. She lives in Fountain Inn with her three sons; Cole, Sawyer and Sully and their French Bulldog, Zulu. In her free time she loves cooking, going on adventures with her family and watching her boys play baseball and football.

In closing, you are your child’s first and most important teacher.  You are a very necessary part of your child’s educational journey.  I am excited to share this adventure with you.   Please contact me with any concerns you may have.  

We are looking forward to sharing this year with you and your child.

Sincerely 

Mrs. Baxley,  Miss Alanna and  Ms. Lindsey
