"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
-- Benjamin Franklin
Meet the Teachers!
Mrs. Dahms
Welcome to First Grade! I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with your child this year. I like to tell my students that everyone is a teacher and everyone is a learner, including myself! My goal is to instill a love of learning into every child that walks into my room.
All About Me
I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and moved to Greenville, North Carolina in 1999. Ever since I was little I loved playing school and knew early on teaching was what I was meant to do. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. This will be my seventh year teaching first grade at VFL. I am married to a wonderful husband who never minds pitching in on a school project. I have two children of the furry kind, who keep my life interesting! In my spare time I enjoy photography, watching the Tarheels, playing sports, traveling, and spending time with family, especially my amazing nephew!
