About Mrs. Walker...I am so excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher this year! I have taught transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade for 19 years. I was raised in Saratoga Springs, NY, and attended the State University of New York at Potsdam for my teaching degree. In 1997, shortly after graduating, a job with CMS brought me to Charlotte, NC. After 11 years in the district, I spent the next 7 years teaching TK and K at a private Christian school. I am married to Alex, a high school teacher and football coach at Independence High School (GO Big "I"!!) and between us we have 5 children ages 8-19. I am so grateful to join the teaching team at River Gate! My desire is to give your child the BEST kindergarten experience...with intentional teaching, open communication, partnering with parents, and supporting the WHOLE CHILD.
