Eastern Christian is pleased to welcome alumna Allison Carnes as first grade teacher.
Carnes earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and psychology from Gordon College. Born and raised in New Jersey, she attended Eastern Christian from Pre-K through 12th grade, graduating in 2009.
After graduating from Gordon College, I lived in Massachusetts and worked as a curriculum coordinator for an after-school program and a pre-k teacher at Bright Horizons. I then moved to Arizona, where I lived and worked for 8 years in Title 1 public schools, where I gained experience teaching a variety of grades, including first grade for 6 years. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, traveling, baking and being outdoors with my dog, Zinnia.
In July, I moved back to New Jersey to be closer to family and to join the EC family as a first grade teacher. I am so excited to return to the EC community as a teacher. I love teaching reading and science and I look forward to sharing that with my students and hope that they leave first grade with a love of learning as well. I also look forward to creating a class family each year with my students.
It is so meaningful that we will start the year together already sharing a love of God and working together to integrate our faith into all parts of our day.
