Hello New Providence Lionsl!  I love being a part of the NPE family!  Here is a little bit of information to help you get to know me.  I grew up in Gaffney, South Carolina.  After graduation from Gaffney High School I attended and graduated from Clemson University with a BA in Elementary and Early Childhood Education.  GO TIGERS!!!!  After graduation, I married my husband, Ryan, and we moved to Dallas, Texas so Ryan could attend Dallas Theological Seminary.  We spent almost 10 years in the Dallas area.  While in Dallas I taught 3rd grade at Skyview Elementary in the Richardson Independent School District and I was a school librarian at Cullins-Lake Pointe Elementary in the Rockwall Independent School District.  I graduated from the University of North Texas with a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science and a certificate in School Librarianship.   In 2003 our son, Alex, was born and then in 2006 we welcomed our daughter Emily.  Our family made a move back to the Palmetto State in January 2007.  In 2007 I had the privilege to open a brand new school library at India Hook Elementary in Rock Hill School District 3.  I served 7 years at India Hook until we made the move to Lexington in January 2014, when I once again had the privilege to help open another brand new school at  Deerfield Elementary, here in Lexington County School District One. In 2017 I made the move to NPE.  When I am not at school,  you will find me cheering on my kids at their sports events, reading a good book, shopping, spending time on the lake, staying involved with church activities and cheering on our Clemson Tigers!  I look forward to seeing all of you in our school library very soon!

Hello! My name is Clarice Mondeel.  I am an Instructional Assistant and part-time library assistant. I joined the NPE staff in 2019. Before coming to NPE, I enjoyed being a Kindergarten assistant. I like to make things and I love books because they can take me anywhere and inspire my imagination!
