Hi, My name is Holly Smith! As mentioned on the home page, I have been an educator in some capacity for 9 years after earning my Bachelor's Degree in 2014. I also have a ton of experience with kids outside the school setting from babysitting and nannying, tutoring, volunteering, and doing respite care. I moved to Wilmington in 2022 with my life partner, Chris. We have a cat, Sylvia.
When I am not at school, I enjoy traveling, nature walks, going to the beach, spending time with family and friends, trying restaurants (love a good brunch), seeing movies in theater, seeing Broadway shows, going to Airlie or other outdoor parks, watching tv, scrapbooking, painting, writing, and collecting Barbies & other fashion dolls. I love visiting my family in Kentucky and Ohio on school breaks. I enjoy singing and have occasionally been known to dress up and perform as various princesses here at Codington for special events.
A few more fun facts:
I have traveled to Africa
I did some student teaching in San Diego
My favorite color is pink
My favorite animal is the giraffe; I also love otters, cats, and any cute critters
I don't like coffee, but love iced chai lattes
My favorite snacks are Reeses, Nerd rope bites, and Skittles
