Hello! I am Ms. Gifford and I am so excited about my first year in 1st grade at Rich Pond! I am going into my 6th year of teaching, and have previously taught 3rd grade in TN! I graduated from WKU with my Bachelor's in Elementary Education in 2017, and from The University of the Cumberlands with my Master's Degree in Teacher Leadership in 2020. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, reading, hiking, and playing board games! 

I'm looking forward to a great school year! Let's go Bulldogs!
