Hello! I am a 4th grade teacher at Athens Intermediate School.  This will be my 11th year teaching, and I have loved every minute of it!  Teaching brings me so much joy and purpose to my life.   My students become an extended part of my family!  I am so excited about this school year at AIS!

I have a wonderful family at home as well.  I have been married to Jim Schexnayder for 33 years, and we have 2 children, Will and Elizabeth.  Will is married to Lindsey, and they are the proud parents of my awesome grandson Luke.  Elizabeth is married to Colby Morris and lives in Elkmont.   I love family time when we can all get together!

I enjoy traveling, kayaking, and just hanging by the pool with friends and family.   We are currently completing a cabin to spend time camping and enjoying nature.   I also love sports, especially football, and am ready to support our Athens Golden Eagles in an exciting season!
