Heather Allen I have been teaching in Forsyth County since 2001. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I have a B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Georgia State University and a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Piedmont. I love engaging students in innovative and authentic learning experiences! 390512 HAllen@forsyth.k12.ga.us Brian Brown There's not much to say other than I love being in the classroom. I've never had a job where I look forward to getting up every day with the knowledge that I have the potential to influence other's lives in a profound way. If I'm not teaching, then I'm spending time with family, reading, programming, or training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 390507 brbrown@forsyth.k12.ga.us Shara Odom After taking two years off to be with my newborn, I am excited about returning to teaching at Poole's Mill! I have my Master's in Early Childhood Education which I received from Georgia State University. I also have my ESOL, STEM, and Gifted Endorsements. This will be my fourth year teaching 5th grade along with four years teaching 3rd and 4th grade. This year, I will have been married to my wonderful husband for ten years, and we just had our second baby girl in April. I can't wait to be a part of your child's last year of elementary school!
