Ms. Halie Russell

Greetings! My name is Ms. Russell.  This will be my 5th year teaching at Pleasant Ridge,  and my 14th year teaching! I have taught NCPREK, Kindergarten and First Grade.  I love the little ones, and Kindergarten is my favorite!  I love to spend time with my wonderful family and my kiddo! I love the fall and I love football in the fall even more! GOOOO STEELERS!  My goal is to support my students and families. I believe it is important to nurture the whole child, which includes each of my students' social, emotional, and academic skills. In our classroom we are a classroom family. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree at Western Carolina University in 2006. My degree is in Early Childhood Education, and I truly believe children are our future.
