Hello! I teach 1st grade. This is my 9th year teaching.
Before coming to Sidney Deener I taught at White County Central. I taught 3rd grade for four years then moved to 1st grade. I live in Cloverdale with my husband Bryan and two daughters; Lucy who is in 6th grade at SWMS and Maggie who is in Kindergarten at Deener! We have a crazy dog named Birdie and a funny flock of backyard chickens. My favorite thing about teaching is learning! Every day I get to learn and grow and build relationships:)
Now that it is September a brand new edition of our monthly RISE ( science of reading) Newsletter is available! Follow this link to look into more fun and details for your family! We would LOVE to hear about what reading goals you are setting in your homes! Reading 10-20 minutes in the evening? Playing letter matching or word games in the car? Tell us your ideas!

Hello! I am teaching first grade! This is my fifth year of teaching. Before moving to Sidney Deener, I taught at Judsonia Elementary School. In the past four years, I have taught sixth grade math/science, second grade, and first grade.
My favorite thing about teaching is building relationships with my students and making learning fun! I believe every classroom should be a safe place full of smiles and laughter, and I love seeing my students' confidence grow in their learning throughout the school year!
We love having our cafeteria tables lined with happy students again!
Have you filled out a free/ reduced lunch form? These forms help our school in several ways..one of which is to help families gain access to great meals!
Don't forget the Scouting Informational Meeting on Thursday, September 1.
It’s superhero time!! Mrs.Stroud went to all of our classes last week to explain our superhero of the week process! A new crew of superheroes will be named this Friday!
We are so thankful for our SRO, Officer Smith! He may be a new face around Deener but he is already doing a great job investing in our students. They love showing him the ropes on the playground!
Our annual Kindergarten COLOR WEEKS are here!! Please join ( even if you are not in Kinder) in the fun. Each day our Kindergarten students will explore a new color.
Rock House Mentoring begins September 6. Big thanks to this Harding University group for working with Searcy students!
