Ms. Laurel Ferguson
Welcome Everyone,
My name is Laurel Ferguson and I am very eager for another year of teaching First Grade! I relocated from the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York in 2009, where I was born and raised. I began my teaching career shortly after receiving my masters degree at College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York.
Upon moving to North Carolina, I began teaching right here at Southwest Elementary School and I am exceedingly grateful to be here! SWE is like family! I am very passionate about teaching and truly enjoy spending every moment educating young children. I am entering my twelfth year of teaching at SWE and my tenth year of teaching First Grade!
I thoroughly enjoy the warmth and sunsets of NC! Throughout the year, I enjoy walking on the beach, chasing and capturing every sunset imaginable, listening to music, working out, cooking, walking in parks, and observing nature. I try to spend as much time outdoors as possible!
I have a cat named Jada who is 18 years old! I have had her since my senior year of college, when she was merely a six-week-old kitten. She has been through so much with me, especially in the past year, and I am SO grateful to have her in my life!
I am wholeheartedly looking forward to another great year educating First Grade students! SWE - Together We Can!
