Mrs. Ashley Fonte

I was born and raised in Water Valley, Mississippi. My birthday is February 
01, 1981. I am married to Michael Fonte, who is also from Water Valley. He is 
currently the Assistant Administrator of the Yalobusha General Hospital and 
Nursing Home.

I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from The University of 
Mississippi in 2003, and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 
2008. I also earned a Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership with an 
emphasis in Administration in June of 2011.

I began my teaching career in the Water Valley School District in 2003. I 
taught kindergarten for five years at Davidson Elementary School before I 
moved to De Soto County to teach kindergarten and third grade in 2008.
 
My passion is making a difference in the lives of children! I absolutely love 
teaching children. It makes me smile when I see the look on their faces when 
they finally get a concept!  It's a great moment for me! 

I try to live by the famous quote, "On your worst day on the job, you are 
still some childs best hope." -Larry Bell
