Welcome to Fourth Grade!

Hi! My name is Heather Osborne. I grew up in Hickory, NC, where I enjoyed spending time with my family, going on the lake, and babysitting. I knew at a very young age that I wanted to work with children! When I'm not teaching, I enjoy two-stepping & line dancing, going on the lake and snow skiing. I also love spending time with my friends, family, and furbabies. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with children of my own, so my furbabies are my world. I have a four-year-old German Shepherd Dog named Bentley. She is super smart, goes everywhere with me, and is super spoiled. (I wouldn't have it any other way!) Two years ago, I rescued 3 cats, Momma Maggie and her two kittens, Raven and Willow. I wasn't really a cat person, but they quickly wormed their way into my heart...and my house! It took some time and patience, but we are now one little happy family!

In December 1998, I graduated from Appalachian State University and have been teaching ever since! I taught kindergarten, second, third, and fourth grades, but fourth grade is definitely my favorite! I moved to Harnett County in 2009 and became a 4th grade teacher at Benhaven Elementary. I earned my AIG certification from Campbell University and serve as the AIG lead for the school. I have very high academic and behavioral expectations for my students. My goal is for students to believe in themselves, develop good character traits, and become inquisitive, lifelong learners. I want them to love school as much as I love teaching!

Let's work together to make this school year the best one ever! Please know that I will always have your child's best interest at heart, so if you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me through gmail or the agenda. I look forward to helping your child meet his/her potential during another fabulous school year! Thank you in advance for your support and understanding!
