Library, Mrs. Amy Basham
Hello Ashland Families! This is my 12th year in the library at Ashland Elementary. I have two children of my own who are both UK students this year, a dog and two cats. I absolutely love my job and reading with kids. When I'm not in school, I love walking my dog, watching UK sports and reading. I also enjoy going to the lake with family and friends.
Physical Education, Ms. Kathleen Kirk
My name is Kathleen Kirk. I am the P.E. teacher. I have recently accepted this role after many years in the classroom. I am from Lexington, KY and this is my seventh year at Ashland. I enjoy playing music and tennis and look forward to working with such a great team and group of students.
Dance & Drama, Mrs. Ashley Oldham
Hey Ashland Fam! I am beyond excited to be returning to Ashland for my 18th year in FCPS! I was previously the dance and drama teacher here for 11 years and have also been a school counselor. I am joyously married & we have been blessed with twins who are starting 2nd grade this year. When I’m not at school, I enjoy traveling, working out, running half marathons, and planning Disney trips!
Art, Mrs. Cheryl Schaub
I am excited to be back at Ashland this year. This will be my 14th year teaching Art. I have degrees in Art Education and Art History. I am married with one daughter who is a sophomore in college at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have two young dogs who can help keep me busy at home and take my mind off of missing my daughter! I love to paint, cook, garden, travel and read in my spare time.
Music, Dr. Kallie Snyder
This is my sixth year teaching at Ashland, and I can’t wait to make music again! Outside of Ashland, I teach private flute lessons, and I also teach Intro to Music and History of Rock online through BCTC. I went to school for a very long time, which is why I’m Dr. Snyder! I have degrees in music education (B.M.E Western KY University) and flute performance (M.A. Middle TN State University, D.M. Florida State University). When I’m not making music, I like to spend time with my husband and son.
