Meet the Teacher

I’m Mrs. Wright

Welcome to 5th grade!  I am so excited to be your teacher this year and can’t wait to see what the 2023-2024 school year has in store for us.  I’m eager to learn all about you so we can make this a successful year!  In the meantime, I thought you might like to know a little about me.

I grew up in NY and attended SUNY Geneseo where I completed my B.S. in Elementary Education.  My husband and I have 4 amazing children, and they are all graduates of HRES!  My 2 oldest boys have  “grown and flown” and my daughter and youngest son are attending Campbell University.  I also have a puppy named Milo McGee and a kitty named Willie.  You will hear LOTS of stories about all of them!     

In my spare time I love to read, cook/bake, and take a quick road trip when time allows. I also have a passion for repurposing, refinishing, and renovating old furniture and household items.  My favorite subjects have always been math and science and I will probably tell you “this is my favorite topic” almost every time we start a new unit!

This is my 11th year here at Holly Ridge but I have worked in the field for many years. I LOVE all the excitement of teaching 5th grade and would not trade it for any other grade level!  I am thrilled that I will be a part of your life and I know we are going to have a fantastic year!
