Kindergarten
Sharon Wood
My husband Richard and I live in Raeford with our two daughters. K
This is my 10th Kindergarten class at FMA. I really like working with kindergarten students. They compliment my singing and my hairdo even
when no one else does!
Everything that you need to know about life you learn in Kindergarten. We will master the skills of taking turns, saying I'm sorry, saying Please and
Thank you, and enjoying every minute of our busy day! These lessons will come in very handy throughout our lives!

First Grade
Lesley King
The mission of F.M.A.'s first grade is that each child learn and experience everything possible in a safe, positive, caring, and meaningful
educational
environment. Instruction will be as individualized as is possible so that each child can reach his potential for his current age and stage. Along with
learning all of the required curriculum, hopefully each child will leave first grade with a better understanding and appreciation of himself or
herself as a person.

High School English, 9th Grd HR
Matthew Ivey
As a teacher,
I believe that it is extremely important to challenge
students, to push them beyond their perceived limits, and to introduce them to
new ideas and modes of thought. Appropriately, the mission for all of my classes
is to accomplish all of these things. As a teacher of English, I also believe
that it is of utmost importance for students to be well-read and to be able to
articulate their ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing.
My classes will not be easy, as
they will require a tremendous amount of work on the students’ part, but they
will be rewarding and worthwhile. I expect all students to embrace the
challenges I give them, and in return, I will do anything and everything
possible to ensure their academic success.

Computer Education/ 10th Grd HR
Dwight Welsh
This is my 4th year at Flora Macdonald Academy. I truly enjoy teaching and molding young minds every day.
My classes will not be real easy, but they will not be extremely hard. If the student is willing to put in the work, they will be able to earn a decent
grade, however if they just think they can come to class and not participate, then their grade will reflect their lack of effort.
I have over 30 years experience working on, with and around computers and their related components.
I am an Army Veteran with over 14 years service, while in the Army I was the Unit Computer Electronics Manager and I supervised anywhere from
5 to 200 soldiers at various times during my career.
I finished my Associates in Information Technology Degree in June of 2009 (better late than never LOL) and will begin working towards my
Bachelors in Information Technology in October of this year.
