Meet the Teacher! 🍎✏️

I am SO excited to officially introduce our Pod B Teacher: Ms. Beth Calaway!

Ms. Beth is the absolute perfect fit for our program and brings an incredible 37 years of experience in education, with the majority of those years spent in 2nd grade.

Beyond that, she has raised 4 children of her own and is blessed with wonderful grandchildren! We are grateful and blessed to have her knowledge and warm heart in our pods.

Please join in giving Ms. Beth a big welcome to the pod family! 🎉

Don’t forget!!! 📆
