Meet the Teacher...
Hi! I am Suzanne Valois...Mrs. Valois
Welcome to my website. I hope you will learn a little more about
me, your teacher. I am looking forward to learning all about YOU,
my new students!
I have been blessed to be a part of the Selwyn Elementary School family for 21 years...
five years as a parent, five year as an Instructional Teacher Assistant, and 11 years teaching first and second grade.
I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida to parents who were both educators. I attended Stetson University in DeLand, FL and graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. After graduation, I spent five years teaching Social Studies in grades 9-12.
After staying home to raise my daughters, I returned to the classroom in 2006 AND to school at UNCC to complete a Graduate Certificate in Elementary Education.
The 2022-23 school year will be my seventh year teaching 1st grade at Sewlyn and I love spending my days learning with such curious, busy, and happy little people!
I have been married to my husband for 30+ years and we have two wonderful daughters... Kady and Ellie...both Selwyn graduates.
We share our home with Max, the Selwyn kitty rescued from the A/C unit at the school.
In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, reading historical fiction, traveling, and spending time at the beach.
Each year I LOVE getting to know all of my new "Firsties" and sharing our school year exploring, learning, and enjoying all the exciting and wonderful adventures a first grade year holds!
