Hello! My name is Rachel Francisco and I’m thrilled that I have been given the opportunity to teach your children this year. I grew up in the local area and love calling the triad area home. This year will be my 6th year teaching first grade. I received my undergraduate teaching degree from East Carolina University. I am a huge Carolina Panthers fan! During football season, I watch their games every Sunday. I love animals, especially cats and have a very special cat named Keuchly (named after Luke Keuchly) that I love spending time with. Some other things I enjoy are reading, spending time with friends and family, and taking trips. I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all. It’s going to be a great year together! :)
