About Me
- Mrs. Alicia Whitlock
- I am married with two beautiful girls. My oldest daughter is on chemotherapy for Leukemia and is doing quite well. We are a Christian family that loves our church, are big into raising money for cancer research through Relay and Light the Night, we also enjoy going to the lake and jet skiing, love swimming in our pool, love traveling, and love playing the Wii and Wii Fit together. The 2008-2009 school year will be my fifth year of teaching. In my teaching career I have taught 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 1st grade. Though I have had experience in many grades I seem to have found my home in first grade. I love teaching and I am thankful that God has blessed me with the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. I truly feel that teaching is my calling and plan to teach for many more years!
