Welcome to Camp Elgan

Hi there!  I am Mrs. Elgan.  This is my 19th year teaching.  I am married to my wonderful husband, James.  We have two daughters and one son.  They all take up most of my free time, but some hobbies that I enjoy are reading, cooking, and watching my kids play sports.  I love shopping at Target, drinking ice tea, and spending time with my family.  We love tent camping as a family.  I have been known to catch the biggest fish and my kids love to eat it.  We also enjoy traveling to Lake Havasu to spend time on the river in our boat. I absolutely love teaching and I am so excited to have your child in my class!!!

We’re going to have a great year!!
