All about Mrs. Perry
A Little about me....
I was born in Lufkin, Texas but I grew up in Austin, Texas with my mom, dad, and two brothers, Michael and Preston. We moved to Raleigh, North Carolina as I was entering my 9th grade year in high school. After high school, I attended East Carolina University and got my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, many years later I went back to school and got my Master’s from Gardner-Webb University also in Elementary Education. I have been teaching 4th grade for 17 years, with the last 7 of them being at Highland Creek Elementary in Charlotte, North Carolina. You could say I love working with 4th graders, they are the best!!! This year I am excited to be off on a new adventure at Parkside Elementary. While at East Carolina University, I met my amazing husband Trey. We have been married for over 16 years and have two amazing and beautiful daughters; Caroline and Carly. Trey is a home mortgage lender with Movement Mortgage and specializes in renovation loans. Caroline is 12 and is in the 7th grade at Lake Norman Charter and Carly is 9 years old and is in the 4th grade at Highland Creek Elementary. We have two pets. Cayman the cat is 16 years old, and we have a 2 year old dog names Caramel!!! One of my favorite places to be is the beach. It soothes my soul to walk up and down the sandy shore listening to the waves crashing at my feet. This is one of those places I can feel at peace. Another place I love to be is in my Jeep on a warm day with the top down. A stressful day seems to melt away when the wind is in my hair and the warm sun is on my skin. My favorite time of year is fall. Fall brings cooler temperatures, pumpkin spiced lattes, and FOOTBALL!!! I love watching football!! Especially when my Dallas Cowboys are playing!!!! I believe that every child should enjoy school and have a love of learning. It is my goal to help each child grow to their full potential while in my class. |
