    Avera   Kelley Avera  
    I have been an educator for 27 years and this is my 20th year at Daves Creek. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a B.A. in Business Administration and my Teacher Certification. In 2006, I earned my Master's in Elementary Education, then in 2008, earned my Educational Specialist in Curriculum and Instruction from Piedmont College. I received my Gifted Endorsement in 2014 followed by my Math Endorsement in 2016. I completed my STEM Endorsement in the spring of 2019. I love to incorporate technology in my teaching. I know that students work best when they are engaged and having fun while learning and I try to accomplish this in my lessons.

    Keller   Janet Keller  
    I graduated as co-valedictorian from UGA in 1990 (Go Dawgs!!!), and I have taught grades kindergarten through fourth for 28 years. I have earned both National Board Certification and a Master's degree in education, and I truly love to teach! I have been at Daves Creek for 18 years, and yes, I am an older teacher, but I believe that learning should be fun and engaging for students, and I am always willing to embrace innovation and try something new!

    I am thrilled to be joining the Daves Creek Family for the 2020-2021 school year. This will be my 18th year as an educator. I have taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and now I get the privilege to teach 4th grade at Daves Creek. I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, as well as a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with Technology from NOVA Southeastern University, and also have earned a gifted certification. I have previously taught in Gwinnett County for the past 14 years. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, which includes my two boys Tyler, who is 4 and Sawyer, 6, who will be a first grader at Daves Creek this coming school year. I am excited to be your fourth grade teacher and look forward to meeting all of you this coming school year!

     Rogers Ben Rogers  
    This is my 16th year teaching overall, and fifth year at Daves Creek. I previously taught kindergarten for three years in Delaware, my home state. I then moved to New Jersey and taught 5th grade for eight years. I taught fifth grade here for two years before making the switch to fourth. My goal is to create an exciting and challenging classroom to push your child to reach his or her fullest potential and enjoy learning. I look forward to another great year with you and your children here at Daves Creek!
