From Ms. Valencia...
Hi! My name is Lauren Valencia. I was born and raised in Valley, AL. I attended Auburn University where I received my degree in Early Childhood Education. I am excited to be apart of Shawmut Tribe!
We are very excited to announce our new Math Coach, Mrs. Amber Willis!
From Mrs. Willis,
I am a dedicated educator with 17 years of experience, specializing in math education. Throughout my career, I have focused on creating a positive and supportive school and classroom culture where students can thrive. I believe that building strong relationships with students is key to fostering an environment where they feel motivated and capable of achieving their full potential.
In my personal life, I enjoy traveling, spending quality time with my family, cheering on the Auburn Tigers, and visiting Disney parks, where the magic of creativity and fun inspire me both professionally and personally. My husband, John Mark Willis, and I are relocating to the Auburn area, and we have 22-year-old twins, Rand and Molly.
I am passionate about collaboration and look forward to working alongside fellow educators to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Welcome to our Shawmut Tribe, Mrs. Willis!
