Welcome to First Grade! My name is Lauren Dawson and I am so excited to be your child's First Grade teacher! This will be my fourth year as a first grade teacher and I couldn't be more eager to experience this year with your child. We have worked very hard and I am looking forward to many fun and engaging activities planned!

    I grew up in Conyers, Georgia but later graduated at Loganville High School in 2008. I attended the University of West Georgia where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I plan on going back to school to receive a Master's degree in Exceptional Leadership within the next year. I am also working on my Gifted Endorsement and plan to get my Math Endorsement this year.

I am a very open and inviting person and believe faith and hapiness is the best medicine. Please never hesitate to reach out.

Outside of School

 I am married to my "college sweetheart," Steven, of 4 years. We have no children but consider our 3 fur babies our "children." We have 2 labs, one black, one brown, and a cat. 

I am a first time aunt to the sweetest boy in the whole word, Cade. It is my most proud title.

I am definitely a sports girl. I am all about: Alabama & Falcons football, Hawks basketball and of course, Braves baseball. You can always find me watching a good game, especially when Bama is on. Roll Tide.  I also enjoy: spending time with family and friends, traveling, shopping, and spending time with my fur babies.
