Get to Know the Apple of Our Eye; Celebrating Teachers All Year Long!

Primrose School of Five Forks selects Mrs. Amber Drummond as the Teacher of the Month for January!

Mrs. Drummond is the Lead Teacher in our Private Pre-K 1 classroom. She and her husband, Sean, have two beautiful children, Elijah (4 years old) and Tyson (1 year old).  Both of the boys come to school with her and they absolutely love it!  

Mrs. Drummond was born in North Carolina, but raised in Georgia.  She went to school at Martin Luther King Jr. High School, where she met her husband.  They have been together since the 10th grade!  Sean’s family is from Jamaica, so they regularly enjoy Jamaican meals and reggae music.  Sean has been working for Delta Airlines for 7 years and they are planning on taking the boys to Jamaica very soon.  Mrs. Drummond received her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University.  

When Mrs. Drummond was younger, she worked with her grandmother as her assistant in her in-home childcare center during the summers.  Being the oldest of three girls and having many cousins, Mrs. Drummond babysat them all!  While in college, she worked as an afterschool teacher while completing her degree.  She knew she wanted to be a teacher when she was in the sixth grade.  Mrs. Drummond really enjoys seeing the children grow and develop each year.  Her students really give her joy and they have the best sense of humor. 

Some of Mrs. Drummond’s interests and hobbies include spending time with her family and putting smiles on Elijah and Tyson’s faces.  She also enjoys traveling and shopping for school supplies!  (She loves Target!)  

Congratulations to Mrs. Drummond!
