About Me Personally:

I have been married to Jessica Beck for the past 10 1/2 years and mixed together we have six kiddos (Austyn/22, Keaton/18, Sydney/18, AJ/16, Carter/15, and Julia/14) and three dogs.  I'm also a Christian pastor/preacher, though I'm not serving a church in that capacity currently.  I love traveling, Star Trek, Dr. Who, time travel books/movies, and anything that'll make me laugh.

About Me Professionally:

This upcoming school term will start my 17th year as an educator.  While I have taught 5th grade for most of my career, I have also had the opportunity to teach 1st and 4th grades, as well as 5th - 8th Social Studies (in our former Virtual Flex/Visions program).  I previously had the pleasure of working as an Instructional Technology Specialist, serving many of the elementary schools and the middle school in Colquitt County.  The 2022-2023 will be my fourth year in Thomas County and my second year as the 7th grade MERIT ELA teacher.  With all that said, I am looking forward to the year ahead!

About the Year Ahead:

There will be MUCH more information to come, but be ready to read, write, and create.  I look forward to building on what Mrs. Garbett began in 6th grade, while also preparing you for Mrs. Rogers in 8th.  I also look forward to sharing with you my love for reading and writing.  The side panel will be updated throughout the summer and as we begin the new year.  I hope you have a restful summer, and I look forward to seeing you soon!
