Okay, I’m not saying I saved the BEST grade-level team for last… but I’m also not saying I didn’t.
Say hello to our AMAZING Resource Team!

🎨 Ms. Carlson – Art
Quite possibly the most amazing art teacher you could ever find! Don’t believe us? Just take a look at the annual Clay County Art Fair and you’ll see what we mean! One thing you can always count on with Ms. Carlson: you won’t see the same art projects year after year! She is constantly coming up with new, creative projects and finding ways to keep our students inspired and excited about art. We’re also SO excited to celebrate that she has a little one on the way! We couldn’t be happier for her! And we’re excited to announce that she’ll also be participating in the Art to Remember fundraiser this year! More information will be coming soon, so keep an eye out for all the details!

🏃‍♂️ Coach J – PE
The chillest. The coolest. The most vibing PE teacher around. He does an amazing job with track and teaches our students about nutrition, staying healthy and active, and the importance of good sportsmanship. He somehow manages to make fitness fun—and, somehow, he actually likes the heat. But Coach J isn’t just good at PE! He’s also surprisingly talented at art and is a fantastic storytime guest in the library . His skills in music and science, however… are still under review.

🎶 Mrs. Wood – Music
An amazing, highly qualified music teacher who basically knows ALL THE THINGS about music. She goes above and beyond with Chorus and Honors Chorus, helping our students find their voices—and then making them use them! She has brought her own musical expertise into the classroom as well—she also sings outside of the school day, so our students are learning from someone who truly lives and loves music! She goes above and beyond with Chorus and Honors Chorus and even brings in special guest visitors throughout the year to give students hands-on experiences and introduce them to different instruments, musicians, and all things musical.

🔬 Ms. Helm – Science
The newest addition to the team! She made the switch from the classroom to teaching Science to ALL grade levels, and honestly… this job was 100,000% made for her. She knows all the crazy, weird, gross, fascinating things AND somehow knows how to make them fun. She’s keeping our kids actively learning about the world around them, encouraging them to ask questions, get curious, and explore how things work. Basically, if it’s weird, fascinating, or makes you say “EWWWW!”—Ms. Helm probably has a lesson for it.

📚 Mrs. Paine – Media Specialist and IAF
Our lovely (I think so 🤷‍♀️😂) Media Specialist and resident social media extraordinaire! She genuinely LOVES to read and is always ready to share her favorite books, random facts, and, of course, her love of dogs. She’s also somehow everywhere, all at once, all the time. And when it comes to comedy, Mrs. Paine takes the crown! She has the BEST jokes on the team—although Coach J is a very close second with his endless supply of dad jokes. And yes, Mrs. Paine LOVES them. Honestly, we’re not sure if she loves Coach J’s dad jokes or just loves having someone else who appreciates a good terrible joke. But wait… there’s more! Mrs. Paine is also our school IAF, which means she helps our classroom teachers with all things technology!

📚 Ms. Meehan – Library Sidekick Extraordinaire
Helping Mrs. Paine keep the library organized and functioning while Mrs. Paine is busy being everywhere at once. 😂 We’re not saying she’s the reason things stay on track… but we’re also not not saying that.

Basically, this team is talented, hilarious, slightly chaotic, and absolutely essential to our school.

Our newest resource class, Science, is starting the year off with a bang! Students explored using their 5 senses, made observations, and asked the most important question.."Why?" They were able to see turtle eggs, chrysalis' and even real alligator heads (yuck a duck I say). We can't wait to see all the cool and perhaps gross science things this year.
