My name is Tammy Emerson. I am eager to start my 2nd year as a Sully Hornet! I have been an educator for 22 years.  I have been a reading specialist for 14 years and taught 2nd grade for 8 years. I earned my BS from Clarion University of PA and my MS from Shenandoah University.  I live in Winchester, VA with my husband of 29 years, and our three adult sons, who attend JMU, Radford and VCU. When I'm not teaching, I love to travel with my family. We have visited Mexico, snorkeled many islands in the Caribbean, and hiked trails in our National Parks. This year we are planning a summer trip to Iceland! I'm looking forward to continuing to build relationships with students, families, and staff. Go Hornets!

Hi! I'm Ruth Narcisse. I was born in Guatemala and grew up in North Carolina (por eso soy bilingue!). I have lived in Northern VA for 9 years. I live with my husband, my daughter Ella, and my dog Coffee. I received my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from University of North Carolina-Wilmington and my master's in Literacy Leadership from George Mason University. In my spare time I love reading, eating, and exercising!

My name is Kate Shuffleton. I live in Purcellville, VA with my husband and two children, my daughter is attending Univeristy of Mary Washington and my son is a Junior in High School. I have been teaching for 22 years. This is my 12th year at Sully. I love reading and teaching children to love reading! When I am not in school, I love traveling, doing crafts and spending time with my family all over the world.
