Hello, and welcome to East Side Elementary.  I am Pat Mabry, School Secretary.  I began my career at East Side in 1989 as a Kindergarten Paraprofessional.  I was a paraprofessional for three years, then was hired as the school secretary.  I enjoy my job, the day to day operation of the school, working with the  students, parents, administrators, and staff. 

I was born in Marietta, Georgia and attended all Cobb County Schools.  My husband and I have been married for 35 years, and we are the proud parents of a wonderful daughter, Leann.  Leann is a 2005 graduate of Kennesaw State University with a degree in Communication/Public Relations, she is currently back at KSU working toward a second degree in Early Childhood Education. She will graduate in December 2009. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, and spending time with Leann and her dog Charlie.
