Hi! I'm Ms. Gainey and I am excited to have you as part of my Panther Family. I am looking forward to a fun filled year in science introducing you to the exciting world of cells, genetics and the living world around us. I can't wait to start exploring together!

Who am I?

I am a lifelong student and educator. I taught horseback riding lessons for 25 years and decided to make the move to the classroom. I currently have 16 horses, 3 Australian Cattle Dogs (Badger, Maverick and River), 2 guinea pigs (Little Dipper and Smores), Ember the Bearded Dragon, and two salt water aquariums. Hopefully Ember, Smores, and Little Dipper will join us in the classroom some this year so that we can learn from them. They love teaching you about the amazing world of life science.

In my free time, I compete in the American Rhythm and Smooth styles of ballroom dancing and herding competitions with my dogs. I also am the coach for the LMS Model Rocket teams. I look forward to having you in my class.

This is going to be the Best Year Ever!
