Hi! My name is Kristin Gagliardi and I am SO excited to be teaching first grade at Piney Woods Elementary! I am certified in Early Childhood and have my Masters degree in Reading and Literacy. This will be my 20th year teaching.

I have 2 children in 6th and 8th grades. We also have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 bunnies, and 1 fish (that will become the class pet!). I am a HUGE Clemson fan.

I like to paint, read, golf, snow ski, go to the beach, and travel. I love to watch my son play sports, especially baseball, and my daughter dance. My husband is a professional fisherman and travels throughout the country fishing bass tournaments.

We are going to have an amazing year and I can't wait to get to know your child even better!
