Hello, my name is Alex Collins, and I am proud to be part of the FVES family! I began my teaching journey here during my graduate program while completing my student teaching in kindergarten, and I knew right away that FVES was where I wanted to stay. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to teach both 4th and 5th grade, which has given me a strong understanding of how students grow and transition as learners. 

In my classroom, I strive to create a positive, supportive atmosphere where students feel encouraged to learn, grow, and take pride in their progress. My goal is not only to help children succeed academically but also to ensure they feel valued, loved, and confident in their abilities.

A little about me: I was born and raised in Benson, North Carolina and I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education from NC State University after I received my bachelor’s degree in Fitness Wellness Management from Campbell University. I love being active both in and out of the classroom. I’m an animal lover with two dogs and three horses, and I also enjoy dancing, crafting, gaming, and spending time outdoors. When I’m not teaching, you can usually find me at church, by the water, enjoying a Marvel movie, or spending time with my family and fur babies.

I am blessed to work with such wonderful students, families, and staff, and I can’t wait for another great school year!
