Mrs. Robin Lizotte

Hi! My name is Robin Lizotte, I have been teaching in Craven County for 19 years, most of which has been in 5th grade at Ben D. Quinn. I earned my teaching degree from the University of South Carolina. Go Gamecocks! I grew up as an Air Force brat and then married an Air Force man. I have been married for 33 years to my husband, Gary. We have a daughter, Lindzy, and a son, Zachary, and 4 grandchildren and 6 four-legged fur grandchildren. We also have 3 furbabies, 2 dogs and a rabbit. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially those grandbabies!

Mrs. Sarah Weems

5th Grade Math

Hello! My name is Sarah Weems and I am so excited to have the opportunity to educate your child. I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a K-12 reading license. This will be my eighth full year teaching and my fifth year teaching 5th grade. I am originally from Asheboro, North Carolina, but I have come to love living in New Bern. I have been married to my wonderful husband Brian for four years. We have a daughter, Savannah, who is almost one, a yellow lab, Brody, and a black lab, Molly, that are our whole world. In my spare time I enjoy spending time on the water, playing tennis and spending time with family and friends. I have a passion for helping children learn, and making them the best they can be. I look forward to getting to know you and your child throughout this school year and can't wait to see your child blossom!
