Welcome to my class and Sanderson.  My name is Ms. Elizabeth Nance, and this marks my 5th year at 
Sanderson and 9th year of teaching.  I have taught 9th grade English every year of my career, and I love 
it.  I am a proud mother of two wonderful children.  My son Caleb will be 9 in October, and my daughter 
Peyton just turned 4 in May.  They keep me busy with sports and play dates!  We also have a dog named 
Yoda.  Yes, my son is a Star Wars fanatic.  

I graduated from Appalachian State University with at B.A. in English Education.  I am currently pursuing 
my Masters through online studies at East Carolina University.  I love teaching English because I have a 
passion for reading.  Books come alive for me, and I strive to bring that passion to the students in my 
class.  Even though I know some students have trouble in English, I try to find ways to make it fun and a 
success for them.  I understand that English is not easy for everyone; I struggled through math in high 
school and college.  Therefore, I use that knowledge to help students who struggle find ways to be 
successful.

I am always available for students' and parents' questions.  Email is the easiest way to contact me.
