About The Teacher

Hello!  My name is Tamika Reshea Bretherick Powell.  I am originally from 
Florence, Alabama where I attended Rogers High School and graduated in 1996.  
I cheered from the time I was in elementary all the way through high school.  
I received a cheerleading scholarship from Shoals Community College, where I 
attended for two years.  I then transferred to the University of Alabama, 
where I met my wonderful husband, Cliff Powell.  After getting married, we 
moved to Cullman.  I then transferred to UAB and graduated in the spring of 
2002.  Cliff and I have four beautiful children.  Brannon Taylor Powell is 
the oldest and attends school here at East.  Mandolyn Grace Powell is 5 and 
attends the Primary School. Lillyann Reshea Powell is 3 and attends Little 
Lambs.  Melody Joy Powell is the youngest and is now 19 months.  I also have 
two sisters and 1 brother.  They and my parents all live in Florence, 
Alabama.  We are all very close and enjoy spending time together as a 
family.  

One of my hobbies is playing the guitar.  My family and I often play and sing 
when we're all together.  I also enjoy horsback riding when I get the 
chance.  In highschool I barrel-raced and rode in horse shows.  

I have been teaching at East Elementary seven fabulous years.  I love 
teaching and I'm so excited about the upcoming 2009-2010 school year.  I look 
forward to getting to know all the children and parents in my classroom.    
It's going to be a BLAST, so buckle down, and get ready to take off!  

Mission Statement

It is my mission to mold each child into becoming successful, autonomous, 
life-long learners.
