Hello! I'm Jean Fitzgerald. I have 10 years teaching experience in 3rd grade and Kindergarten, and now I will be in 1st grade! I have a large family spread out over the world living in California, Pennsylvania, and England. I do not have my own family which leaves time for hobbies such as arts and crafts and movies. I am a nerd, so I enjoy all conversations related to Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel, and Anime. I also love music and played the euphonium for 12 years. I have been told my laugher is contagious.

My name is Wendi Guthrie and I am so excited to be your teacher this year. I am a Georgia native and have lived in Forsyth County for over twenty years. I have three daughters, Linzy, Sydney, and Kaylie. I also have 2 sweet grandbabies. I began my teaching career in 1999 and have been at Big Creek since 2012. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading, shopping (I have 3 girls), and vacationing!

Hello! Welcome to 1st Grade! My name is Candice Kidd and I have been teaching at Big Creek since 2013. I have taught almost every grade PK-5 and have worked at 6 different schools in 3 different countries since I started my career in 2006. I love to teach all subjects but reading is my favorite! I also love to incorporate STEM projects into all subjects. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my husband and our 5-year-old son and we love to travel and explore new places. I also like to cook, read, and visit my friends and family in England every summer! I am so excited to meet you all and look forward to a great year of fun learning together!

My name is Chloe Norrell and I grew up in Woodstock, GA. I graduated from the University of North Georgia in Spring 2022. I will be teaching first grade and I am SO excited! In my free time, I love to hike and spend time outdoors. I have a cat named Piper who I absolutely love. I am so excited for an amazing school year!

My name is Lindsey Quarles. I grew up in Forsyth County. I attended North Georgia and State University where I received my teaching degree in early childhood education and special education. Since 2009, I have absolutely loved being a member of the Big Creek family! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I look forward to this upcoming school year. I hope that you have all enjoyed your summer creating memories with family and friends! First grade is going to be a year full of learning and fun! I look forward to meeting all of the wonderful new first graders!
