I am so happy to meet you! My name is Ms. Griffis and I will be your teacher this school year. This is a big and exciting step! I have a son, and he is going to the 8th grade this year! I love to help children learn and see them smile! WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN!!
I graduated from high school in Texas. I went to college in Virginia. I graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. After teaching two years in middle school science, and two years in the second grade, Kindergarten is my home. I love helping my students establish a solid foundation and acquire a love of learning as they begin the journey of education.
I enjoy reading, writing, singing and gardening. I like to cook, when possible. I treasure spending time with my son: having our “Family Night” and chats at the dinner table. My top favorite is serving God and doing all to glorify Him!

My name is Lededria Baker, and I am a dedicated educator with 17 years of experience in elementary education. This is my third year serving as a Building-Based Math Coach with OMI. I hold a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Educational Specialist degree in Elementary Education, as well as a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. I am the proud mother of one daughter, and in our free time, we love to read and watch movies together.
As a math coach, my goal is to support teachers in creating engaging, effective math instruction that builds student confidence and deepens understanding. I am excited to continue soaring and growing in the Eagle’s Nest!

This is my 9th year as an educator. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of South Alabama. I have been in the realm of math for the past 4 years, as a math coach, 3rd grade math/science teacher, and 6th grade math teacher. In addition, I've also taught 2nd and 4th grade all subjects. I look forward to teaching 5th grade math and science this year! It's going to be a fun and academically productive year. As a teacher, my ultimate goal is to make a difference in the lives of children who are often forgotten, discounted, and who need empowerment, belief in themselves, and someone who believes in them. Furthermore, as a math teacher my goal is to hep every student build confidence in their math skills by fostering a growth mindset, encouraging problem-solving, and making math relevant and engaging. I aim to create a classroom where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities and every student feels capable of success.
Via my skills of innovation and creativity, my desire is to take education for today’s students to another level. With your help, I intend on accomplishing this by creating students who are questioners, thinkers, and life-long learners. Are you up for the challenge?
