I am beyond excited to be joining the fifth-grade team this year. This will be my 19th year of teaching, and 17th year in Forsyth County. My husband and I have two children, Joshua and Daniel, who keep us quite busy on the baseball field. When not teaching or cheering on my favorite players, I enjoy a good book in my reading room. I love building and strengthening the joy of math, problem-solving, and science in my students, and I can't wait to begin this year's learning adventure with them. 

The Looping Legends class and I are so excited to be moving to 5th grade! This will be year 36 for me, and I love teaching! Originally from the Finger Lakes region of New York, I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees from SUNY Brockport. My doctoral study focused on looping and student connectedness. I have taught kindergarten, sixth grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and graduate students. My passion is in looping with fourth and fifth-grade students. In my free time, I love to hang out with my two grand blessings (one is also a Mariner), ride my motorcycle, and go hiking. 

This will be my 36^th year teaching.  I have taught 3^rd and 5^th grades. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University and my master’s degree from Lesley University. I have my reading and mentor endorsements. When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family.  I have two grown children, daughter-in-law and son-in-law, and a 2 yr. old granddaughter. My husband and I love the outdoors, hiking, fishing, and being in the mountains. I enjoy spending time in the garden and curling up with a good book each day! I am looking forward to another great year in 5^th grade.

This year I start my 31st year of teaching! I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Georgia in Early Childhood Education, and my Specialist's degree in Technology in Education from Lesley University. I started my career in Richmond County, then moved to White County, and have been teaching here in Forsyth County for 25 years. I was blessed to teach at Matt the very first year it opened! I am looking forward to teaching Math and Science to my amazing 5^th graders!

This will be my fourth year in fifth grade as a Matt Mariner! I have 10 years of teaching experience and was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom for 11 years. In college, I pursued a double major and hold bachelor’s degrees in both Child Development and Elementary Education from Auburn University. I also have a master’s degree in Elementary Education from The University of Montevallo. I am currently working on my Dyslexia Endorsement. I’ve always had a love for children and a passion for education. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and walking my dogs.  I can’t wait for another year on the fifth-grade team.

Hello! My name is Corey Lostetter, and I am excited for another year at Matt!  This will be my 12^th year of teaching, and fifth year teaching 5^th grade in Forsyth County. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia Southern University, and a Master’s degree in Educational Technology from the University of West Georgia, as well as an endorsement in K-5 Mathematics. My husband and I have four children, three dogs, and there is never a dull moment! When I’m not teaching or watching one of my children’s sporting events, I enjoy reading, yoga, gardening and being outdoors, preferably near a large body of water. I absolutely love 5^th grade and love watching my student’s knowledge of number sense grow!

Hi! I cannot wait to continue my teaching adventures at Matt Elementary in 5^th grade! I am a graduate of Forsyth County Schools and I love being back here as a teacher. This upcoming year will be my 12th year teaching. I have my Specialist’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and I truly enjoy being a lifelong learner! I live in West Forsyth with my husband, sons, our dog and our two cats. My oldest son, Reed, is also part of the Matt family as a 5^th grader! Aside from teaching, I love to play tennis, craft, cook and spend time with family and friends. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year! 

I am beginning my 18th year teaching, and this will be my eighth year at Matt! I have earned a Masters and Specialist degree in technology and curriculum in education, and love trying new things in the classroom to help my students learn in new ways and discover their potential.  I am gifted certified and enjoy finding innovative and creative challenges for students.  I have two children, Ansley and Ryder.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
