A little bit about Mrs. Beam ...
I AM A NORTH CAROLINA NATIVE... FROM A SMALL TOWN CALLED CHERRYVILLE, IN GASTON COUNTY!
THIS IS MY FOURTH YEAR AS A STINGRAY HERE AT VIRGINIA WILLIAMSON ELEMENTARY AND I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!
I LOVE THE SENSE OF FEELING AT HOME AND THE POSITIVE VIBE, WITH OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY!
I RECEIVED MY BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AND MY MASTERS IN LIBRARY SCIENCE DEGREES FROM APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY!
I HAVE BEEN TEACHING FOR 29 YEARS. I HAVE TAUGHT KINDERGARTEN AND 4TH GRADES, BUT MOST OF MY CAREER HAS BEEN IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY, GETTING TO TEACH ALL STUDENTS WITHIN THE SCHOOL!
I HAVE TAUGHT FOR 25 YEARS IN NORTH CAROLINA (GASTON AND BRUNSWICK COUNTIES).
MR. BEAM AND I ALSO TAUGHT IN DUBAI FOR 4 YEARS AT AN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL!
I LOVE TRAVELING, READING, PHOTOGRAPHY, DIGITAL DESIGN, YOGA, CHOCOLATE AND ALL TYPES OF MUSIC! I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, MOSTLY ALONG THE COAST OF NC/SC!
I ESPECIALLY LOVE GETTING TO KNOW ALL OF OUR AMAZING STINGRAYS AND THEIR FAMILIES!
WE HAVE ONE SON WHO ATTENDED EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY AND NOW LIVES AND WORKS IN CHARLOTTE.
I AM SO EXCITED TO BE TEACHING HERE AT VWES AND LOOK FORWARD TO A FANTASTIC YEAR!
RAYS UP STINGRAYS... LET'S GET READING!!!

We have a beautiful school library at VWES!
It is not only full of thousands of amazing books to choose from, but our students get to visit each week and participate in hand-on learning stations! Some stations may include digital design, Legos, bookmark making, mindfulness coloring, puzzles, board games, chess, step by step drawing books, research skills and a variety of non-fiction and fiction book activities! Libraries are not just for reading anymore... they are for exploring, imagining and getting kids to think critically!
