My name is Heather Light. I have been married to my husband Gavin for almost 13 years. We have two children, MaryElla and Lachlan. I enjoy spending time with my family, going to concerts, and cheering on my daughter's soccer team any chance I get. I began my teaching career as a Kindergarten teacher at North Elementary in Osceola, Arkansas in July 2023. I am so excited and blessed to be a part of the VPA family. I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. I believe that a teacher does so much more than just educate children. Being a teacher means I get to leave a lasting imprint on each and every student that I have. My hope is that every day my students walk into our classroom and know that they are loved, respected, and appreciated. As they leave our room at the end of the day, my goal is that they have learned something to not only build their knowledge but also help shape them into amazing adults.
