About Ms. Hays...

I am a lifelong Cullman resident and product of Cullman City Schools.  I 
attended Samford University where I earned my bachelor's degree in Early 
Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education, and I earned my 
master's degree in Elementary Education from the University of West Alabama.  
My hobbies include horseback riding, traveling, volunteering with my church, 
and spending time with friends, family, and pets.  The things I enjoy most 
about teaching kindergarten are nurturing students' love of learning and then 
being able to watch them implement those new skills as they grow and mature.

Our Purpose...

I strive to provide every student with a positive, structured, and 
fulfilling foundation for his/her educational career.  Every day is an 
opportunity to focus on character education, citizenship, and a sense of 
community.  Our classroom strives for excellence with high-quality 
instruction and engaging activities.  My desire for our class is that each 
student realizes his or her full potential while increasing his or her 
experiential background, paving the way for future success both in learning 
and in life.  Today's kindergarten students are tomorrow's leaders, and we 
never lose sight of that here in the Alligator Class!  Truly, some of our 
greatest life lessons are those we learn in kindergarten!
