Lee Park Prep

Help us welcome Mrs. Traywick to Lee Park Prep!!!

Hello! My name is Whitney Traywick. I am so excited to join the Elementary team as an assistant this fall! I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for me in this new chapter. I’m excited to meet and get to know all of the precious children! LPP has been a blessing to my family and I’m so grateful I get to be a part of this ministry.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at the beach and traveling to new places with my husband and children, Huntlee and Silas.

Let's welcome another teacher to Lee Park, Mrs. Whitener!!!!

My name is April Whitener, and I am thrilled to be joining the Lee Park family this August as a 5th Grade Math and Science teacher!

I am a Union County native and graduated from Sun Valley High School. I attended Queens University of Charlotte, where I studied Vocal Performance and Nursing. I served in local hospitals for six years, until God completely changed my life and mission field in the best way when He called me to be a teacher! I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and Middle School Mathematics from UNC Charlotte in 2016.

Over the past ten years, I have served as a 4th grade teacher at Matthews Charter Academy and within the YMCA YScholars program, as a Math Specialist at Monroe Middle School, and also given private tutoring/voice lessons. Watching students grow is my favorite!

I am also a mom to three sweet boys - Caleb (16), Aiden (12), and Liam (8) - who keep me on my toes and will also be joining Lee Park Prep! In my free time, I enjoy singing/songwriting, playing piano and guitar, woodworking, DIY projects and renovations, playing soccer, and being a lifelong learner.

In the classroom, I love incorporating whole-brain teaching strategies that include music, movement, creativity, hands-on projects, and collaboration to make learning meaningful and memorable. Most of all, I really love Jesus and His Word because He first loved me, and I'm so excited to be able to share that love with students in the classroom every single day!

“My health may fail and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever!”
— Psalm 73:26

Please join us in welcoming Mrs. McLean to the Lee Park Prep family! We are excited to have her join our team as our Kindergarten teacher.

My name is Mrs. McLean and I have taught pre-kindergarten in CMS for the past 3 years. I have a bachelor's degree from UNC Charlotte in early childhood development and have absolutely loved teaching and growing young minds! I am so looking forward to teaching Kindergarten and being the starting point of the future LPP class of 2039!
