Hi!!!!! My name is Mrs. Ritchie.. I LOVE to teach and TEACHING third grade is by far my favorite. I have taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade. I have been married for 17 years and have three awesome kids ( Jennings, 13, ELiza & Virginia, 12). We live in Clayton, NC and have lived in the Raleigh area for 15 years! I am an animal lover......we have 3 gorgeous dogs and 2 cats! I love to be busy and be with my family. WHEN i AM NOT AT SCHOOL i ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY, SHOPPING, COOKING AND BEING OUTDOORS! I can be reached through email (probably the best way), [email protected] or you can call the school at 919-266-8540. I do not receive messages until the end of the day unless it concerns transportation or is an emergency. I look forward to an amazing year with each ONE of your children!!!!
