Hello 3rd graders! I am SOO excited to be your teacher this year! My name is Mrs. Bell, and this will be my 7th year teaching at Lovejoy! I completed my undergraduate degree at Iowa State University and completed my Master of Education degree from Drake University! My husband’s name is Joe, and we have 2 kids, Ayda and Jalen. We also have 2 dogs! In my free time I love baking and creating things. I also love grabbing Starbucks and heading to the mall! This year you will be challenged to learn new and exciting things, but do not worry we always find time to have some fun!
Hi 3rd graders! My name is Ms. Dabney and this will be my 4th year teaching at Lovejoy. I graduated from Iowa State University – Go Cyclones! When I am not at Lovejoy, I love spending time with my boyfriend Mitch and our 2 Huskies, Theo and Nova! Some of my favorite things are the color yellow, sour candy, trying new restaurants, and watching Netflix. I can’t wait to spend the next year learning and growing with you and your families!
Love Ms. Dabney
