Welcome to Ms. Gillespie's 5th Grade

About Me

I have been teaching 5th grade at Holly Springs Elementary since 2010. Prior to that I was a substitute at HSES for many years. My children all attended HSES and this feels like home. I love 5th grade and working with this age student. I am passionate about getting students ready for middle school and helping them reach their full potential.

I have three grown children. Some of my favorite things to do are to spend time with my children, their spouses and their dogs. I love to be outside; taking walks, hikes, gardening. I loves dogs, books, music, chocolate, and coffee!

I know this year is going to look different and there are many unknowns. We are all anxious to get started, and as a teacher, I promise to do everything in my power to make this a great year for your child!
