    Kindergarten Mission

         Our mission is to nurture the growth of the whole child, instill a love of learning and encourage curiosity.  We strive to develop a strong sense of community among the school, the home and the world around us.  Our classroom family is a place of laughter, peace, mindfulness, positivity and risk-taking.        

         Hello!  I am Ashley Sieve.  I look forward to the 2024-2025 school year with your child.  My goal is to support and nurture my students on their individual journeys.  I am committed to each and every child who becomes a part of my life.

         Since 5th grade, I have dreamed of being a kindergarten teacher.  In 2004, I began work on my Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary and early childhood education at Middle Tennessee State University.  In 2007, I transferred to Maryville University to complete my degree.  Also, I have a Master of Science degree in curriculum and instruction from Missouri Baptist University.

         I love spending time with my family.  My husband's name is Jordan, and we are the proud parents of our 3-year–old son Grant and 6-year-old daughter Peyton.  Peyton will be starting first grade at Glenridge this year!  I enjoy nature, hiking, crafts and kayaking.

         I believe that communication is a key component to your child's success and growth.  Please contact me anytime; I am always available.

         "Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own."  -- Nikos Kazantzakis
