Hello Bearcats! My name is Loren Heatherly and I’m excited to get to know you and your child this year! I am starting my 6^th year of teaching. I have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. I have been married to my husband, Ben, for ten years, and we have two daughters, Magnolia and Emmie Kate. Magnolia is 7 and in 2^nd Grade and Emmie Kate is 4. We enjoy traveling and spending time together. I am very honored to be teaching 3^rd grade at East Elementary. This year my hope for you is to feel loved, encouraged, challenged, and successful in our class!
