Hi Aversboro Owls! This is my first year teaching in Wake County. I taught Special Education for 3 years in Charlotte, which is my hometown. I graduated from Winston-Salem State University with a bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Education and a Masters in Special Education. In my free time, I enjoy crafting, making things with my cricut, and spending time with my dog Charlie. I am so excited for this school year!

Hello! My name is Antoinette Richardson and this is my first year here at Aversboro Elementary. I graduated from Elizabeth City State University with a Bachelors degree in English and a minor in Education.  I’m new to the Raleigh area and enjoying it! In my spare time, I love to spend time with family, bake and relax by the beach.  I’m looking forward to this new journey here at Aversboro!

My name is Mrs. Taina Cook, and I am so happy to join Aversboro!I have a Masters degree in Education with several areas of K-12 certification and experience. I began teaching in public schools in 2013, and, prior to that, I served as an instructional assistant for 5 years. I am a lifelong learner, and I look forward to helping your student to become one as well!

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband David as we explore our new home here in Garner and the surrounding areas. I also enjoy spending time with our grown-up children who are all working and/or going to school out of state. I love reading, writing, and traveling (especially to the beach).
