Welcome to 3rd grade. This will be my sixth year teaching at Algood School.
I am married to Jeremy and we have one amazing child named Jackson and another one on the way. We
also have a very special dog named Daisy. I have lived in Cookeville my entire
life except for the years I attended the University of Tennessee. I received
my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Tennessee Tech. In
my leisure time I enjoy playing with Jackson, traveling, and going to the
lake. I am looking forward to a terrific year with your children.
The mission of Algood School, hand-in-hand with our community, is to provide
a quality education through diverse and clearly focused educational programs
that instill in all students intellectual, moral, physical, emotional and
social values; produce citizens competent in basic skills, possessing the
ability to think critically and solve problems; promote a positive attitude
toward learning; and prepare all students to succeed in this ever-changing
world.
*We, the faculty and staff at Algood School, believe that every student is
an untapped resource with varying potentials, characteristics, needs, and
interests. We further believe that the future of our community and society
depends on the young minds that we are educating today.
*We believe students must have a safe environment that promotes optimal
student learning.
*We believe every child should be given the opportunity to develop a life-
long love of learning, by having enjoyable learning experiences that build
self-esteem and enhance personal dignity.
*We believe that home, school, and community share in the responsibility of
nurturing and preparing productive young men and women for tomorrow.
*We believe all students should learn to be sensitive to and respectful of
the uniqueness of others.
*We believe students learn best when they have appropriate opportunities for
success and developmentally appropriate learning activities.
*We believe commitment and harmony among administration, faculty, and staff
members promote a productive learning atmosphere.
