    Hello Comets! My name is Manny Avella, and I am so excited to be in 4th grade again this school year. I studied Elementary Education/ Special Education at the University of North GA, and earned my Master’s Degree from Walden University. I am a big Braves fan and am looking forward to leading the Challenger shuttle again this year!

    Bell    Sarah Bell
    My name is Sarah Bell and this will be my 12th year teaching elementary school. I have taught 2nd grade and 4th grade. This will be my 10th year teaching 4th graders. I love teaching Math, and enjoy seeing students get that "aha" moment. Math doesn't have to be hard, and I enjoy showing that to my students! I LOVE to read and work hard to instill that love of reading in my students as well. I grew up in Roswell, but my family now lives very close to Silver City! I have two boys, one in 3rd grade and one in daycare. I love watching the Braves! CHOP ON!

    Smith Angel Smith
    I graduated from Liberty University with my Master of Arts in Teaching Elementary Education. I am also a graduate of North Georgia College & State University where I received a bachelor's degree in psychology. This will be my 11th year in education and my 7th year teaching 4th grade. I spend most of my free time at home with my husband (Matt), son (Dawson, 8), and two pups (Bonnie & Shadow); however, when I get some time of my own, I enjoy spending it with family & friends, crafting, listening to audio books, and working with my therapy dog, Shadow. I can’t wait to connect with my students and their families this year!
