    		 Anna Brancheau

    Hello! I am thrilled to join Vickery Creek’s second grade team this year! This is my eighth-year teaching in Forsyth County. My husband and I live in Ball Ground with our two boys who attend Vickery Creek and Vickery Creek Middle.

    I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since I was young. I grew up in Douglas County and earned my Educational Specialist from the University of West Georgia! My passion is teaching reading and helping students find those special books that unlock the joy of reading for them. 

    When I am not teaching, you can find me camping, spending time with my family, reading, or playing with my dogs! I am looking forward to meeting my group of second graders! We are going to have a great year!

    		 Tina Kersey

    I grew up in Florida and received my teaching degree from the University of South Florida. I have taught for 26 years and every year is a new and wonderful learning experience.

    My family and I moved to Georgia from Florida and enjoy being a part of this community.  I have had the privilege of teaching here at VCE for 18 years and Vickery is my home away from home. My husband and I have 3 children.

    Our family enjoys boating, hanging out, and playing cards!

    I look forward to working with you and your child this year and watching the tremendous amount of growth that each child makes. It is my belief that every child should love school and it is my job to help them find that happiness here.  It will be an incredible and exciting year!
