I am a happily married mother of 5 incredible children ages 28, 24, 20,11 and 8, with 2 grands. My faith in God has been the foundation for my family and our core values of daily life.

Given these wonderful experiences, with God as the center - Working with children has been one of the greatest joys of my life next to spending time with my family.
Tiffany Hutchens
3rd-5th Grade Teacher
I have been teaching for six years and have had the opportunity to teach second, third, fourth, and fifth grade students. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about creating a positive and engaging classroom environment where students feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to reach their full potential. The most rewarding part of teaching for me is building meaningful relationships with my students. I believe that when students feel valued, respected, and cared for, they are more confident learners and willing to take risks, ask questions, and grow both academically and personally. I am committed to helping each child develop a love of learning while fostering confidence, responsibility, and kindness. I look forward to partnering with families to support student success and create a memorable and enriching school year. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter and finding new ways to make learning meaningful and fun.
