My name is Karen Blackburn and I teach 2nd grade at Anderson Elementary. This is my twelfth year at Anderson and I am very excited to be at such a wonderful school! I was born in Columbus, Ohio and lived there most of my life. I attended Ohio University during my college years. There, I met my husband Andrew and we have 3 wonderful children. We moved to North Carolina about 16 years ago. I have taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. I am here to teach your child and to make them feel safe and loved!
