About Me

My name is Annette Flechtner (pronounced Fleckner - it’s a toughie) and this is my 7th year teaching fifth-grade.  I graduated from UNCW with a Master of Arts in Teaching, and I am SO excited to be at Masonboro Elementary again this year.  I have two young adult children - David is 26 (has a history degree from Appalachian State University) and Matthew is 24 ( has a finance degree from UNCW). My newest “son” is Baker, our 3-year old Aussiedoodle (Australian Shephard and Poodle mix). 

My husband, Jim, and I have been married for 33 years - wow!  We enjoy taking our dog for walks, riding bikes all over Wilmington, eating good food, spending time on the water or at the beach, and traveling.  

Through teaching, I enjoy the opportunity to build strong and positive relationships with families and to help kids develop a passion for lifelong learning.  Fifth grade is "No Joke" but we have fun making it a super successful year!
