Hi all!

My name is Miss Riggins, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This is my fourth year at Monarch as well as my fourth year teaching.

I am from the Greenville area originally. I got my undergrad at Clemson University in Parks, Conservation Area Management. After graduating from Clemson I worked for the United States Forest Service in Butte Falls, Oregon.

I loved being outside and getting to explore another part of the country, but what I enjoyed most was my outreach work with kids, so I decided to go back to school and get my Masters in the Art of Teaching from the College of Charleston.

After graduating, I moved back to Greenville to be closer to my brother and his family, as well as my Grandparents.

I now live in Simpsonville with my Australian Shepherd baby, Coen and boyfriend, Cole. We enjoy hiking, traveling, seeing the latest Marvel movies, cooking, and frequent vsits to Charleston to see my parents.

Hi all!

My name is Mrs. Edwards and I will be your Kindergarten Aide this year. This is my 9th year as a Kindergarten aide, and my 10th year at Monarch Elementary. I have a Associate Degree in business from Piedmont Technical College. Before working at Monarch I worked as a preschool teacher for fourteen years. When I am not working with children, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Bruce, daughter, Lauryn, and my son, Wesley and his wife Felicia. I also enjoy reading, going for walks and decorating. I am so excited to have your child in our class this year!
