Mrs. Schumann - Art Teacher
I have been an educator in the visual arts for over 26 years and hold both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Art Education as well as Nationally board certified. My goal as SLES art specialist is to advise, guide, and support my student artists in their creative journeys providing authentic studio experiences where they can develop and choose their own ideas and materials to carry out their artistic visions. My hopes and dreams is to inspire my little artists to find their artistic passion where they can freely express themselves. I am skilled in various forms of art from painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and more. Wife to a supportive loving husband and mother to 2 adventurous boys (young men now). Hobbies include: ceramics, painting, photography, yoga, kayaking, boating, hiking, and traveling. Favorite trip adventure was Paris in 2015.

Ms. Moravek - Music Teacher
My name is Carolyn Moravek and I am the South Lakes Music Teacher! I began teaching in 2014 after completing my Bachelor’s in Music and Master’s degree in Education at Virginia Tech. I have taught in Charleston, SC, and Norfolk, Va before moving to the Fuquay area in 2020. I have two boys of my own, one of whom is a current sea turtle and one future sea turtle. I enjoy reading, taking care of my many plants, and staying active with my kids. I firmly believe that Music Education is a vital role in a child’s life and is key to teaching life skills as well as a life long appreciation of music and all arts.

Ms. Scinta - PE Teacher
I was born and raised in a city outside of Buffalo, New York. I received my BA in elementary education with a concentration in math from Niagara University. I have taught 5th, 4th and 2nd grade classrooms before moving into Physical Education in 2015! Growing up I loved (and still love) being outside, camping, hiking, and playing sports. I coached soccer, basketball, and baseball. My favorite place to be in the whole world is Disney World! I am, as some may say, a little Disney obsessed! My family is very important to me and I love spending time with them. I have been married for 14 years and we have one son who is here at South Lakes, and my daughter who is 2. I believe all students can learn and when we are together in the PE classroom we can support each other and help develop our various skills! To me the most important thing you can bring to PE (besides sneakers) is a positive attitude and trying your personal best. I can’t wait to meet everyone and look forward to this new adventure!

Ms. Adams - Library Media
I am originally from Farmington, CT but have called North Carolina home for over 20 years. I absolutely love it here! My adventure in teaching began in 2004 upon graduating with a BS in Birth - Kindergarten Education from East Carolina University. I spent many years teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade prior to moving into the library in 2012. I believe the library is the heart of the school and inspires students to become lifelong readers and learners. I am very much looking forward to working with all the students and teachers at South Lakes Elementary! In my free time, I enjoy getting outdoors, yoga, cooking and spending time with my husband, Pierce, and my two children Ellie & Grayson. Both Sea Turtles! 🐢

Ms. Weaver - Health & Wellness Teacher
My name is Ashton Weaver and I am the Health and Wellness Teacher at South Lakes Elementary. I am currently in my second year of teaching, and I love it! I graduated from Campbell University in 2019 with a degree in Exercise Science, and began my teaching career last year. I have coached volleyball for 4 years, and enjoy being physically active. In my free time you might find me spending time with my husband/family, in the garden, cooking, reading a good book or lounging at the beach. I feel that it is important that we have a better understanding of our health and the positive effect of physical activity on our physical and mental wellbeing. I can't wait to get to know all of you!
