Hello, my name is Kelly Beam Brown. My husband is Johnny. We have one son, Nickolas and a extremely hyper Goldendoodle name Rettie (after Loretta Lynn). Nickolas is my one and only child that we were blessed to have. He is an alumni of UNCC and UNC and works in accounting. This year I will begin my 31st year teaching app County children; 29 of those years have been right here at our awesome school, Cherryville Elementary. I truly love my job and have always wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. I love watching my students grow throughout the year and help them make memories their families can cherish and keep! Thank you for sharing your child with me!

Hi! My name is Anna Parker and I am a second grade teacher. This is my 20th year teaching at Cherryville Elementary. This school holds a special place in my heart because I grew up in Cherryville and went to Cherryville Elementary. I remember walking these hallways as a child and all of the special teachers that I adored. They gave me a love for learning and inspired me to be a teacher. 
 
I am married to my high school sweetheart, Jonathan. My husband and I love to run races and travel.
