Hello everyone. My name is Mrs. Lester. I am the fifth-grade English Language Arts teacher at Childersburg Elementary School. This is my fifth year as part of the #CESTigerCubs family. 

I am a graduate of Jacksonville State University where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Collaborative Education, grades k-6. This means that I am certified as a general education teacher and a special education teacher. I also earned my Master's at the University of West Alabama in Elementary Education. 

When not at school, I spend time with my husband, sons, and family. We are excited to share with you all that we welcomed a new addition to our family this past October. It was a boy, Matty J! He is the happiest baby and we are so lucky to have him. 

Aside from time with family, I spend a great deal of my time at my local ballpark. I am the president of Saks Youth Baseball and Softball. I am also the cheer coordinator for Saks Youth. 

I am looking forward to a fabulous seventh year in education and I am so fortunate to spend it here at CES!
