I am a first grade teacher at Cox Mill Elementary!  This is my 16th year at Cox Mill.  I taught Kindergarten for 2 years and moved to first grade and found my true passion.  I got my degree in Elementary Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I live in Harrisburg with my twin boys who are my world aside from teaching.  We have an awesome 2 year old golden doodle named Bailey Rose that we love dearly, a rambunctious Bordador name Piper Grace, and a 17 year old orange tabby cat named Oliver.  This school year is going to be full of new adventures!  I can't wait to meet all of the new faces at Open House and I am excited to work with you this coming year. The children are going to be building lots of stamina and learning lots of new things in our classroom!  They are going to be so excited about all the new subjects and topics we get to study during the course of this year. I am excited to embark on this new journey with you guys!  You are always welcome to email me if you have any questions for me at Lisa.Elslager@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.
