Hello Vaughn Families!
My name is Makinley Gittings, and I’m thrilled to begin my first year at Vaughn as a second-grade teacher! Teaching has always been my calling, and I could not be more excited to partner with you and your student through a year full of learning, growth, and unforgettable experiences!
I graduated from the University of Arkansas (Woo Pig Sooie!) with a bachelor's degree in childhood education and then went on to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching! I grew up outside of Fort Worth in Burleson, Texas, so I am thrilled to be back in the DFW area to start my teaching career! Outside of school, I love spending time with my friends and family! My favorite things to do are going to the movies, trying new restaurants, and being outdoors!
I’m truly looking forward to getting to know you and your family this year. I cannot wait to grow our classroom family! It's going to be an amazing year in second grade!
