My name is Sara Allen and I live in Lebanon, Missouri. I am very excited to be teaching fourth grade, alongside Mrs. Meckem. This is the beginning of my 7th year in education.  I graduated from Drury Universityin 2013 with degree in Elementary Education then in 2017 with a master’s degree in instructional technology. I am currently pursuing a Ph. D degree in Higher Educational leadership. I have been married for 5 years to my husband. We do not have any children, but many pets.  I have one cat named Zippy, a black Lab/Boxer dog named Buddy and a fat Chihuahua named Chico.  I love trying new things, and am very open minded. Some of my favorite hobbies are reading, cooking, playing games, watching tv/movies and being outdoors on beautiful days. This is going to be a fantastic year!
