Hello! My name is Pam Chitwood, and I will be your child’s teacher this year. This is my tenth year teaching fifth grade, but my nineteenth year in education. Previously, I taught fourth grade for six years and was an elementary principal for three years. I was raised in Kirksville, Missouri and received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. I earned my Master of Education in Elementary Administration from William Woods University in Fulton, Missouri. I am looking forward to another successful year at New Franklin Elementary.
