About The Teacher

From Ms. Agnew:
I am thrilled to be teaching at East Side Elementary.  I have returned to 
teaching in the public school system after seven years of working with 
international students at a private school in Roswell. As much 
as I enjoyed my work there I am astounded at how good life gets because I am 
even happier here with my fourth graders. When I'm not at school, I enjoy 
spending time with my family and friends. My two sons are my truest delight. 
My oldest is starting his first year at the University of North Carolina in 
Chapel Hill and my youngest is a junior at Wheeler High School. I am very 
proud of both of them.

About Mrs. Durham:
I am so excited to be at East Side for my third year of teaching! I grew up in East Cobb and attended 
school at Murdock, Dodgen and Pope.  I received my undergraduate degree from Clemson University 
in 2006-GO TIGERS!.  I was so happy to be able to move "home" to begin my career in teaching.  I 
married my husband in the summer of 2007, and we enjoy spending time with friends and with our 
puppy, Riggs.  I LOVE fourth grade!  I enjoy getting to know my students and passing on to them a 
love of learning.  When I'm not at school, I most enjoy scrapbooking, reading a good book, or 
watching college football.  I can't wait to see what this year will unfold!

Mission For The Class

We will be concentrating on East Side's belief of building the 3 Rs, 
relationships, responsibility and respect. Along with the 3 Rs our class 
will also be working on organization, good decision making skills and the 
art of problem solving.
