Hello Tigers!

My name is Michelle Grubaugh and I am a fifth grade teacher at Freedom Elementary. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be teaching in Waynesville this year. This will be a year full of fun and adventures, exploring, and soaring to new heights. I expect my students to ask questions, think outside the box, and never give up. These are the ways to have success in this classroom.

I have been teaching since 2014.  I received my undergraduate degree from Evangel University in 2013 and a Masters degree in Literacy from Evangel University in 2018.  I have taught in Fair Grove, MO for one year and the last five have been in Marshfield, MO. Before that, I was a Children’s Pastor in a different town.

Just a little about me, I love anything that has to do with outside! I run for a hobby, sing, play the piano, and read. I also am a huge sports fan! I am a big fan of the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, and Alabama! (ROLL TIDE)! Baseball and football are the sports I know the most about, but I now am just getting into basketball! One of the greatest things that I love doing, is to travel all the time, all over the world. I have been to seven different countries and have many friends who live in many different countries. 

Here are some of my favorite things:

Color: Purple

Drink: Cherry Dr. Pepper

Candy: Orange Chocolate

Restaurant: Colton's

Store: Hobby Lobby
