My name is Julie Urso and I would like to welcome you and your family to first grade! I have spent the majority of my years teaching here at Ellen Woodside. I am very proud to serve the families and students at our wonderful school. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I earned a Master of Education degree from Columbia College. Currently, I am working on a master's degree in Literacy at Clemson University. I have also taught kindergarten and second grade. My husband John and I have three wonderful boys Jacob, Jack, and Jace. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to working with you and having a successful school year.
