Ms. Lauren Tharrington

Hi Oakview Families! I'm Lauren Tharrington and this is my fourth-year teaching at Oakview! The past three years I have been in 4th grade, but this year I am changing things up a little and moving to 3rd grade. I am super excited for this adventure and can't wait to see what 3rd grade holds for me!
 
I've been in Wake County since I was a child, going to Salem Elementary, Salem Middle and Apex High School. I got my bachelor's degree in psychology from Converse University where I played collegiate volleyball for 3 years! After undergrad, I decided teaching was the path I wanted to take so I got my master's degree in education at UNCW. 
 
Outside of teaching I am a pet mom to my dog Bella and 3 cats...yes 3 of them: Nugget, Benji and Oreo. After school hours I coach youth volleyball where we travel all along the East Coast for tournaments. I also enjoy cooking, working out at Burn Boot Camp and fueling my coffee obsession by finding new coffee shops around town! I look forward to meeting you and your rising third graders. It's going to be a great year!
