My name is Sherryan Yarbrough.

I have a Bachelor Degree in early childhood education from Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, North Carolina and a Master of Divinity Degree from Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. I recently completed by Masters + 30 certification with a concentration in literacy. For the past thirty-five years, I have been working with young children in a variety of settings including public school education, private school education, Head Start, full-time foster care, and full-time mom. This will be my 15th year at Blythe. I am excited to be teaching kindergarten! I have one son, Eli, who graduated from Clemson in May and is headed to Nashville to pursue a career in music. My husband, Dan, is a chaplain at St. Francis Hospital.

My name is Rebecca McGill.

I have an Associate Degree from Greenville Tech and a Bachelor Degree in elementary education from South Carolina State University. I taught at Fork Shoals Elementary for thirteen years, and then I decided to be a full time mom. A couple of years after my children came to Blythe, I began to substitute. In 2002, I took a 5K assistant position. It is a wonderful job! My husband, Sam Sr., and I have been married for 44 years. We have two children: Breana, who teaches at Fisher Middle School, and Sam Jr., who works at a local restaurant.
