Mrs. Laura Hale:
I am very blessed to be teaching
at Nappanee Elementary. It is truly an amazing place where children come first.
I began by teaching art for a couple of years and then transitioned into the
regular classroom. I received my master’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan in
2013. I have taught first, second, and third grades, but for the past few
years I have been teaching third grade, which I love, because it is such an
exciting year for students.
I am passionate about helping each student succeed. I truly understand that each child is unique and learns in his/her own way. I do my personal best to meet the individual needs of each student and help each child feel successful and confident.
I value parent communication and involvement, so please feel free to email me at [email protected], call, or even jot a little note if you have any questions or concerns. Together we can help your child have an exciting and successful year.
Mrs. Carrie Johnson:
I love being a third grade teacher at Nappanee Elementary! I enjoy watching the children grow as learners and become more independent throughout the school year. I try my best to make learning fun each and every day.
I graduated from Purdue University with an Elementary teaching degree and a Kindergarten endorsement. My family and I live in Nappanee and truly enjoy all the opportunities this community has to offer. We love spending time outdoors and being with our family and friends.
I always appreciate good communication with parents so if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email me at [email protected].
Mrs. Angie Swain:
Hello, my name is Angie Swain. It is my pleasure to teach in such an excellent school as Nappanee Elementary. I graduated with a bachelors and a master's degree from Ball State University and began teaching at Wa-Nee in 1984. I taught second grade for one year and then moved to third grade where I have taught ever since.
My goal each year is to reach the students' learning potential, academically and socially, so that they can achieve excellence. Along with staff and parental support, I hope to provide each child with a positive school experience.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email me at [email protected].
