My name is Molly Dean and I am so excited to be a leopard leader again this year! I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC, and have enjoyed raising my two girls in the area. I attended East Carolina University and graduated with a B.A. in Elementary Education.  Go, Pirates! I have been teaching since 2015 and have taught both Kindergarten and First grade. In my free time, I enjoy cookouts with family, going to the beach, shopping, and being outside with my girls. Teaching is my passion and I love watching students grow throughout the year. I look forward to inspiring young learners and making wonderful memories together this year.
