Mrs. Oswald

     Hello and welcome to first grade!  I am originally from Spartanburg, SC and moved to the area in 2019. I absolutely love being a part of the Pomaria-Garmany family.  This will be my 24th year teaching and I have previous taught kindergarten and second grade.

     I am a graduate of Boiling Springs High School and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Converse College.  I also obtained a Master of Teaching: Elementary Education from Converse College. My philosophy of education is based on the belief that educators will provide students with knowledge and skills that will become an integral part of their lives and help them reach their maximum potential as citizens in our society.  I enjoy supporting my students' natural curiosities and encouraging them to be independent thinkers and learners.

     I live in Chapin, SC with my husband, Zac, and have two children, Emily (15) and Jackson(14). After school, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake: swimming, fishing, and exploring nature.  

I am excited to work with your child during the 2025-2026 school year!  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
