Hello! My name is Laura Ballard. I am excited to be at PCA this year. I will be teaching Art to K-5 students. I have experience teaching Art in grades K-8. I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Art Education from Appalachian State University and a Master's of Arts degree in Ministry to Women from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I have been married to my husband Jason since 2001 and together we have three daughters, Lucy (16), Tess (15) and Ruby (12). We have a furry friend, a black cat named Loki. I love to decorate, organize, exercise and travel!

*I love all things chocolate, Chick-fil-A, and Diet Dr. Pepper :))
