Meet Mrs. Mitchell
Currently Reading:
I have an outstanding husband and am the proud mother of two sweet little girls. My husband or myself love reading and listening to books with our girls! I have been a media specialist for 15 years. I was blessed to start my career at Oakview Elementary followed by a 3 mile move to a newly opened Monarch Elementary, both in South Carolina. Then on to Sonoraville Elementary in Calhoun, Georgia from 2016-2021; it’s less than a mile from the Buc-ees. When we moved to Tennessee, I joined up with Cascade Middle and learned so much in three years as a librarian and Career Explorations teacher. Now I am at our beautiful Cartwright Elementary! Wherever I am, though, I love coming to work to learn!
Dream Big!
You should know that I am a dream big kind of librarian! I love working hard alongside teachers and students to make dreams realities. In 2014 we brought Jan Brett to the first school I worked with after winning an international contest! What made it more special is that students displayed their artwork alongside this famous author and illustrator's work in an actual museum. Why not DREAM BIG!!!
At my last school we enjoyed meeting multiple authors, illustrators, and storytellers like, Peggy Eddleman, Shanda McCloskey, Tim Lowry, Jerry Pallotta, John David Anderson, and Bonnie Clark, and Brad Montague.
