Mrs. Kathie Hunter and Mrs. Ashley Neilsen

I am so excited to have been invited to teach first grade at Ivy Hall and to be a part of your child's life. I am anticipating a wonderful year of learning and new experiences. The emphasis in my class will be to strengthen each child in the knowledge that they can be or accomplish any goal they set forth to do by working hard and not giving up. I know with your help and support each child can and will accomplish this.
