Welcome to First Grade!!  My name is Lori Belshe and I will be your teacher this year.  There is so much to learn in First Grade.  This is a very exciting time for you and your child.  My hope is that our class will become a family where your child can learn and grow.

    This is my 18th year teaching First Grade.  I have also taught Kindergarten.  I love Waynesville Schools and attended school here myself.  My daughter, Allie is 18 and is starting college this year.  My son, Kade, is 16 and is an 11th grader. He plays baseball and basketball and keeps me running to practices and games.  They go to school in Richland, where we live on our family farm. 

I also enjoy gardening, reading, being outside, traveling, Chiefs football, and Cardinal baseball.  Most of all, I love spending time with my kids!
