Welcome! I’m so excited to begin my sixteenth year at Pelham Elementary School. Over the years at PES, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching First, Second, Third, and Fourth Grades, and I began my journey here as an Instructional Assistant.

I earned my B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Harding University and continued on to receive my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from Southern New Hampshire University, along with my certification in Elementary Education.

Outside the classroom, I stay busy with my two amazing kids, Ezekiel and Zoey, and our sweet rescue pup, Zeva. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, kickboxing, and watching a good show. I’m also a huge fan of coffee, superheroes, and dinosaurs!

A super exciting thing that is happening this year is that I am getting married! I am Mrs. Lawton this year.  

One of my favorite things about teaching is finding creative and fun ways to help students understand and remember tricky concepts. I’ve always known I wanted to be a teacher, and I’m constantly looking for new ways to grow and challenge myself each year.

I can’t wait to get to know you and make this school year full of fun, learning, and growth!

Mrs. Lawton (Drouin)
