      Renee Crouse
    My name is Renee Crouse and this is my 9th year at VCE.  I’m thrilled to be teaching 4th grade!  I received my bachelors in education from Auburn University and my masters from Lesley University.  This is my 18th year teaching and I have had the privilege of teaching Kindergarten and 5th grade before 4th.  I live locally with my husband, our two children, and our two dogs.  I love football, Fall weather, games and puzzles. I look forward to an amazing year!

    My name is Hollie Gaerte, and I am excited to be apart of the 4th grade team! I have been teaching for 8 years and have taught 3rd and 4th grade. Teaching is a 2nd career for me, I was previously in the accounting field for over 14 years. I received my degree in Early Childhood Education with a Reading endorsement from Kennesaw State University. I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and moved to Georgia in 2002. My husband, son (Cameron-12), and I live in Cumming with our 2 dogs. During my free time, I enjoy watching my son play baseball, basketball, or football, and spending time with our family and pups.

    		 Sarah Gill

    Hi there! My name is Sarah Gill. I like to call myself a Georgia native although I grew up in Washington and Arizona before moving to Georgia. I live here in Cumming with my husband, Christian, and our sweet puppy, Finley. When I’m not at school you’ll find me spending time with my family, on the lake, baking, hiking, or any fun DIY project! 

    This will be my seventh year teaching at Vickery Creek Elementary School.  I recently graduated with a Masters of Education in Instructional Technology at Kennesaw State University. In 2016, I graduated from the University of North Georgia with a dual degree in Early Childhood and Special Education along with a Reading Endorsement. I cannot wait to meet my new students this year and share my passion for learning!
