About Mrs. Barnes
I was born and raised in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Both of my parents were teachers as were several other family members. I attended Purdue University in West Lafayette and graduated in May of 2001 with my BA in Elementary Education with a minor in Reading. After my first year of teaching, I took classes to earn my endorsement in Gifted and Talented Education.
I am excited to be joining the Guion Creek Elementary School family. Prior to coming to Guion Creek Elementary School, I taught for North White School Corporation (near Indiana Beach), Lebanon Community School Corporation, and Imagine Indiana Life Sciences Academy West. I have taught Title 1 instruction (gr 1-5), self-contained gifted and talented classrooms and general education classrooms in grades 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
While I spend a lot of time at school, the rest of my time is spent at my home in Brownsburg, Indiana with my husband and daughters, Ella and Zoey.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Watching movies, listening to music, traveling, bowling, working on home projects (inside and outside), and art are some of the things I take pleasure in doing the most.
