Meet Mrs. Graves
Welcome. I am delighted to be the teacher of the gifted for our elementary and middle school program at Strafford R-6 Schools. I am starting my thirty-fifth year of teaching with this being my fourteenth year of teaching gifted.
I just celebrated my 36th wedding anniversary. Besides being married to a wonderful man, I also have three amazing children. My oldest son is married and is the lead minister at a church in Kansas, my second son is a pianist, and my youngest is a sweet young lady who is currently undergraduate work in psychology and will be starting her master's program in January.
I grew up with an older brother who was extremely gifted, and two of my children tested gifted and were in gifted programs through elementary and middle school. I understand the characteristics and needs of gifted children from firsthand experience. It is my joy and pleasure (and challenge) to work with these students and to try to guide them in new challenges while also trying to help them understand and deal with struggles they may experience being gifted.
