My name is Alix Burns and this is my second year teaching and second year here at Laurel Park Elementary. I am originally from Northern New Jersey but have since moved to North Carolina after attending ECU and getting my Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a concentration in Psychology. I believe in fostering confidence in my students to guide them to advocate for themselves. I truly view my classroom as a family and accept any and all opinions and voices. I like to think that in my class students will accomplish anything they put their minds to and strongly encourage talking to one another to form better understandings!

A little about me is that I love art, plants, and yoga. I travel a lot between New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida to visit family and friends; but my favorite place to be is anywhere in the sunshine!
