Kristin Bland
1st grade teacher
Welcome to our wonderful world of first grade! When you walk in our door the first thing you'll see are 22 precious smiling faces eager to begin a new day of learning! They are enthusiastic and inquisitive little people starving for all the knowledge their minds can absorb! Our little school is served by the Title 1 program and just received an award for academic excellence. We are all very hard workers (students and teachers alike!) who realize and help to impart the importance of education. We also won the Family Friendly School Award for the inviting and nurturing environment our entire school has. As a teacher, I couldn't be more honored to work in such an incredible place where I not only look forward to going each and every day, but where I am supported in my philosophy of teaching and encouraging the learning of the whole child.

School Counselor
As an elementary school counselor, I strive to reach as many students as possible through classroom guidance, individual counseling and small group activities. I am in my second year and currently still building my office resources. I am excited to begin working with Pledge Cents so I can provide quality learn tools for my students.
Patti Strange
Second grade teacher
I am a second grade teacher at St. Simons Elementary School. This school is so special because we can see the ocean from our windows! I love teaching and have been in this profession for more than 30 years! I still love to come to work and see the smiling faces of my students.

English as a Second Language Teacher
I teach English as a Second Language in a small elementary school in southeast Georgia. We have about 70 students we serve in our program daily. We read amazing books about animals almost weekly. Sadly, most of these students have never seen these animals except for in the pages of a book. I want to give them the experience of going to the zoo. They need to see that giraffes, elephants, and zebras really do exist.

Hello! I am in my ninth year of teaching. I currently teach 4th grade at St. Simons Elementary. My students come from all backgrounds and abilities, ranging from Gifted to Special Education. Our school is a Title 1 School, meaning that a large percentage of students at our school receive Free and Reduced Lunch.
Mary Ann Pruett
Kindergarten teacher
I am a kindergarten teacher and I have decided to use flexible seating in my classroom. Although it is working very well I wanted to give the children an option of sitting in a scoop rocker chair to complete their work.
