Get ready to blossom in 3rd grade! I’m Ms. White, and I’m thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year. This is my 13th year in education and my 8th year teaching 3rd grade—a year full of growth, discovery, and magical learning moments!

I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Literacy, so get ready for some exciting reading and writing adventures! This is my 5th year at Warner Girls’ Leadership Academy, and I’m a proud Buckeye—O-H-I-O! Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my son (an 11th grader) and my toddler daughter. I also love reading, enjoying great food, and soaking in the beauty of fall.
