Welcome to first grade!  My name is Mitzi Owen and I am excited to be your child’s teacher.  We will be doing many exciting lessons and activities this year to actively engage your child in learning and promote an optimal learning experience.

I attended Middle Tennessee State University and Athens State University where I received a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.  This will be my 16^th year in teaching.  My husband, daughter and I live in Blanche, TN.  I love spending time with my family, traveling, cooking, gardening, and sports!

In my classroom I promote cooperative learning, trust, respect, and safety for all.  My goal for this year is to help your child reach their fullest potential through motivation, encouragement and purposeful learning.  I look forward to partnering with you to ensure a successful year. 

I am excited to work with you and your child.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at any time.
