Leisa Fender info coming soon!

Hello! My name is Lauren Davis, and I am so excited to be teaching 2nd grade here at NDS this year! My educational journey began at Liberty University, where I earned two degrees, and I am currently in grad school pursuing my Master’s in Elementary Education at NC State. I am also a proud military spouse of 18 years and a mom to four wonderful children.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids, going on family adventures, and cheering them on in their sports and theater activities. I also love being near the ocean, exploring new places, art and coffee with a good playlist! 

My teaching philosophy is simple: to create a classroom where students can express themselves, explore their creativity, and develop a genuine love for learning. My goal is to build a space where every child feels seen, safe, and celebrated and where their voice truly matters.
