Kindergarten

Mrs. Morella Ivey is thrilled to be teaching Kindergarten at Youngsville Elementary where the Jr. Jags rock! She is a graduate of Ashford University where she obtained her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education Administration in 2019. She then went on to complete her Masters in Early Childhood Education Leadership in 2020. Mrs. Ivey has 4 years of experience in the preschool arena and is now ready to expand her reach as part of the kindergarten team here at YES. She is married to her husband, Joseph, who is also a Franklin County 2nd grade Teacher at Louisburg Elementary. Together they have 4 boys and 1 Shih Tzu named Minnie who is spoiled rotten. In her spare time she loves fishing, crafting, and baking. Mrs. Ivey is looking forward to a great year that’s full of growth and adventure. She is committed to providing a learning environment that is fun, safe, nurturing, and full of enriched content. Her goal is to provide each child with the necessary tools and resources so that they each can maximize their potential.

Mrs. Smith is so excited to teach Kindergarten. This is her 20th year in the classroom and her 5th year at YES. She graduated from ECU in 2004 with a BS degree in Elem. Education. In her class the students learn through singing, dancing, creating, and jumping on the class trampoline (that’s right, she has a trampoline)! Teaching is her passion and she couldn't imagine doing anything else. Kindergarten is a new and exciting experience, and she can't wait to take that journey with you and your child. She looks forward to great things at Youngsville Elementary. Go Jr. Jags!!!
