My name
is Kerri Heinrich and this is my sixth year teaching. I went to Pi Beta
Phi and graduated from Gatlinburg-Pittman High School. I taught in
Nashville for a while after college but I missed the mountains and my
family. My family and friends are the most important thing in my life.
I love to read, hike and shop. I love watching Tennessee
football and basketball. I have one sister who just got married so now
I have a brother. I'm going to be an aunt in August and am super
excited! I am very involved in my church youth group and
outreach ministries.

I went on a mission trip
to Louisiana. I'm
really
involved with girls at church.
I have
my Bachelor of Arts in History and a Masters in Science in Elementary
Education from the University of Tennessee. I taught third grade
English as Second Language for three years in Nashville. While it was
an adjustment at first, I adore teaching kindergarten and first grade.
The kids are so much fun and say the funniest things. It is a lot
of fun to see how much the kids learn in the two years I have them.
Reading is my favorite thing to
teach. I love seeing the light bulbs go off and everything click when
they read. I believe all students are capable of succeeding in school
when they are in a positive environment.
It takes work from home and school to make that happen. I hope we can
work together to make your child's kindergarten and first grade
years successful ones.
