Hello! My name is Mrs. Hardy and I am so excited to have you in my class this year! This is my second year teaching 3^rd grade at KES. Previously, I taught 1^st grade at BF Grady for 2 years, and Kindergarten at Neuse Charter School (in Smithfield, NC) for 3 years.

I am married to Mr. Hardy, who use to teach PE and Health here at KES. We live on a small farm and have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 miniature donkey, hens, roosters, and ducks.

I enjoy doing many creative things; such as designing and making shirts, writing poetry, and singing and playing guitar. I also enjoy reading, drinking coffee, and spending time with my family and animals.

Some of my favorites include: chocolate, cheesecake, Coca-Cola/Pepsi, coffee, cats, and Christmas. My favorite colors are blue, pink, and mint green. I enjoy watching Gilmore Girls and The Hallmark Channel.

I have always wanted to be a teacher and I hope to inspire you to have a love for learning!

I attended Johnston Community College for 2.5 years before transferring to Campbell University. I graduated from Campbell University in 2011 and earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.
