Ms. Pardue

Hi! My name is Betsy Pardue. I’m married and a mother of three. I’m also a proud grandmother. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate work at Memphis State University. I have a Master’s +45 degree. I majored in elementary education and my Master’s degree is in reading. I have been teaching for 18 years. (Fifteen of those have been in first grade.) First grade is such a rewarding year, I love sharing it with my students. I am “Committed to Helping Students Succeed”.

Welcome to 1st grade! This year my greatest contribution to mankind is to provide a classroom in which every student, every day learns, grows, and feels like a real human being.
