My name is Jeannie Smith.  I'm originally from Pensacola, Florida.  I am married with 3 children and have a cocker spaniel named Sprinkle Princess.  I adore making memories with my family.  When I was a child I wanted to be many things.  I wanted to be a marine biologist, an oceanographer, an actress, and even a pediatric nurse.  At one point in my life I wanted to swim with sharks.  I am so thankful I chose to become a teacher instead.  I love what I do.  I earned my degree at William Carey College in Hattiesburg, MS.  This will be my 19th year as an educator.  I have taught Pre-K 4, Kindergarten, first, second and was a reading interventionist.  I began my teaching experience in Mississippi and then continued it in Louisiana.  I love all things southern and creole, especially the food.  I have been teaching in NC for 12 years now.  This will be my 10th year teaching second grade at NFP.  This school is my HOME.  I love it here, and I am positive you will too!  Outside of school I enjoy obstacle course racing, crafting, dancing, cooking, traveling, watching movies, spending time with friends and being outdoors.  I can't wait to get to know your child and embark on this amazing learning journey together.  Welcome to North Forest Pines!  We are so glad you are here.
