Hello! My name is Mrs. Laurryn Salem, and this is my first year as an educator. I am so excited to teach 4th-grade ELAR and Social Studies for the 2023/24 school year. I graduated from college in my home state at the University of South Carolina with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. I worked in local news and then for a non-profit organization in San Antonio before pursuing a calling to teach. I am working on my EC-6 teaching certifications for the state of Texas. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling with my husband and my dog. I have a passion for reading and it is my mission to impart a love of books and learning to all my students!
