I have a long history here at Unity Point School. I attended here as a child from kindergarten through 8th grade. I loved going to Unity Point and I really loved my teachers. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher just like them one day.

<\/div>

I also attended CCHS, SEMO, and SIU. I have my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, master's degree in Teacher Leadership, and for a third time I have achieved National Board Certification in Early Childhood.<\/div>

<\/div>

I've taught preschool, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, second grade, and for a few years I taught classes at SIU. I've been teaching for 34 years. Can you tell I love teaching?<\/div>

<\/div>

I live in Carbondale with my husband, Greg, and our daughters, Hannah and Berget. They also attended Unity Point, CCHS and SIU! Greg attended Giant City Grade School, but we won't talk about that since it is our rival school in sports. Can you tell I love this community?<\/div>

<\/div>

I hope that I can make your time at Unity Point full of learning, laughter, relationships, and memories. Once a Trojan, always a Trojan!<\/div>

I have been working with and teaching children for 19 years. I have experiences working with children from Kindergarten through eighth grade. My experiences vary from teacher to aide, from classroom to library to technology, and from general education classroom to special education classroom to RTI intervention and even Sheltered English.\n\nAll of these opportunities have allowed me to gain very valuable knowledge about a wide range of learners. Currently, I have found an amazing fit as a multiage teacher.\n\nUnity Point School holds a special place in my heart. I grew up attending this school as a child. I have many positive memories related to this school, this community, and all the amazing teachers who have influenced my life. I only hope I can have a similar impact on my current students.","phone":6185294151142,"email":null,"staffMemberProfiles":[]},{"id":"f52e3f98-9494-4344-8e61-5eb9ba6fcbc9","primary_key":119367,"fname":"Peggy","lname":"Ebbs","title":"3rd Grade","avatarUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.schoolblocks.com\/users\/f52e3f98-9494-4344-8e61-5eb9ba6fcbc9\/lricdg-profile pic.jpg","bio":"My name is Peggy Ebbs and I've been at Unity Point since 2005.
