Welcome to music at Swift Creek Elementary School! I’m excited to be starting my 18th year of teaching with WCPSS and my fourth year as a Swift Creek Cougar. My husband, Jay, and I live in Apex with our daughter, two sons, and our dog, Bella. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, crocheting, everything Snoopy, and spending time with friends and family. On Sundays, I lead the band "Daybreak" at the contemporary service at Sunrise United Methodist Church in Holly Springs. Originally from West Virginia and the D.C. metro area, I’m a proud fan of the Washington Capitals Hockey Team.
I love collaborating with my colleagues to create meaningful learning experiences for our students. My classroom is always buzzing with singing, instrument playing, and movement-based activities. There’s always something exciting happening in music! I look forward to getting to know you this year and can’t wait to make it the best year yet!

Hey Swifties! My name is Beth Pope and this is my first year as Swift Creek's media specialist. I am a former newspaper reporter who switched careers to follow my passion for information and digital literacy. This is my third year teaching in Wake County and I have been so privileged to work with the greatest students on their journeys to becoming lifelong readers! I recently married my wonderful husband Nate and we live in Garner with our two cats, Hazel and Ellie. Outside of school, you'll find me reading, binge-watching Netflix or crafting up something. I can't wait to continue growing with the Swift Creek community!
