ELA & Science
Hi! My name is Mrs. Kurth. I graduated from Reinhardt College in Waleksa, Ga in 2009 with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I have taught for 9 years, the past 4 being at NDS.
My family of 5 has lived all over the States and even abroad for a few years! Together we love to watch movies, bake cookies, go for walks with our 2 dogs, and spend time as a family.
I look forward to spending time with your fifth-grade kiddos and getting to know all of them! I am especially excited to see some familiar faces from my first year at NDS and I cannot wait to see how much these Warriors have grown and changed!

Hello! My name is Mrs. Attaway, and I’m so excited to be your teacher this year! I have a Master's Degree in Health Science Education, and Bachelor's Degree in Emergency and Disaster Management. I also have my Emergency Medical Technician certification.
We are going to do so many FUN things! It’s going to be a great year full of new friends, new adventures, and new discoveries. I know you had a fabulous summer, and I can’t wait to hear all about it. This is my third-year teaching 5th grade Science at New Dimensions
Charter School.
My husband Aaron and I have two Australian Shepherds and a sweet Babygirl, and are excited to be adding a bouncing Baby Boy soon! I enjoy spending time with my family, the beach weekend adventures, playing with my dogs, and gardening.
