We have another fourth grade teacher to welcome to Drummond. Ms. Cue will round out the fourth grade team, and we cannot wait to have her join the team!

My major is Elementary Education, I went to SEMO, and I am a first year! Some of my hobbies are spending time with my family, friends, and my pets! In my free time I love to read, catch up on tv shows, and go on walks!

To wrap up the week, we want to welcome Ms. Bitner to the first grade team at Drummond! She is going to be a great addition to our team and we are excited to have her work with our Dragons in the fall.

Hi everyone! My name is Ms.Bitner... soon to be Mrs.Salser. I am so excited to start my first year teaching at Drummond Elementary! I originally graduated from University of Missouri- St. Louis with a B.S. in Psychology. In that time, I also swam on the women's swim team. After using my degree for a while, I was called to teaching. I went back to UMSL to get my teaching certificate and I am currently pursuing my masters! This year will be my first year teaching. I will be teaching first grade, which is my dream! I love to do all things outdoors and active. I can't wait to meet all of the kiddos in the fall!

Let's welcome another new to Drummond, but not new to teaching, staff member! Ms. Sweet is going to be joining our fourth grade team, and we are very excited to have her working with our upper elementary students.

Hi! My name is Ms. Sweet, and I am so excited to be joining the Pattonville School District! I previously taught 4th grade for four years in Illinois, and I will be teaching 4th grade at Drummond this upcoming school year.

I attended Southeast Missouri State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Special Education, and my master’s degree in Educational Leadership. It’s hard to believe this will already be my fifth year of teaching!

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, shopping, spending time with my friends and family, and exercising.

I can’t wait for the school year to begin and to get to know all of the amazing students, families, and staff who make up the Drummond community. Go Dragons!
