Mrs.Estes has been with Grace for the last nine years. My first years at Grace began in the children's center. I started teaching elementary art in 2002.  I v'e been married to my husband Tommy for 24 years. I care for my Aunt Judy who has cerbal palsy (You will see her working for various teachers in the elementary building on Thursdays). I have one daughter (Lindsey) soon to be fifteen and entering High School. Once my daughter Lindsey grew a little older, I made the decision to return to college. In 2007 I began a night program with Covenant College in order to finish my BS in Education. For the last two years I have enjoyed the experience of being in a regular classroom. On May 2009 I graduated with a BS in Elementary Education. Being a teacher and sharing  the art experience with children in the classroom is truly a double blessing. I am really looking foward to being back in art classroom this 2009-2010 school year.
