I enjoy visiting family in Florida, running 5Ks with my boys, and going on new adventures. We are going to have an exciting year in kindergarten.

    Hi! I'm Megan Bagley and I love being a wife, mother, and a teacher! I have lived in Forsyth County almost all my life and enjoy volunteering at my church and spending time with my family. I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Columbus State University.

    Prestwood  Brooklynn Bell

    Hello everyone! My name is Brooklynn Bell, and I am thrilled to join the Poole’s Mill family this year as a new teacher. I graduated from the University of Mississippi in May of 2023 with a degree in Elementary Education, along with a special education endorsement, and concentrations in English and Social Studies. I taught third-grade reading for one year before relocating to Georgia from Mississippi, and I am beyond excited to explore the community here. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Cameron, and our three-year-old mini Aussie, Asher. I love traveling, reading a good book, and drinking coffee. I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of my students and their families. Together, let's make this school year an unforgettable voyage of learning, growth, and boundless possibilities!

    I have been teaching in Forsyth since 2018, but taught for many years before that in another county. I have taught Kindergarten, First, Second, and Fourth grades. When teaching, I strive to create a classroom family where students feel safe to be creative and have fun when learning. When not in the classroom, I love spending time with my family.

    Hey everyone! I'm Shelby Parkhurst and I am so excited to be joining the Pooles Mill Family! I am originally from Forsyth County, I graduated from Forsyth Central High School, and I am excited to move back home. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master's degree and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I spent my first 2.5 years of teaching in Oconee County teaching Kindergarten and First grade.

     pennington  Sarah Pennington

    My name is Sarah Pennington, and I could not be more thrilled to be on the pirate ship this year at Poole’s Mill Elementary! This will be my sixth year teaching in Forsyth County and my third year teaching kindergarten. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2019 with my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I love to read, so teaching students about books is a dream come true! My goal is to create a classroom where every student feels safe, loved, and capable of great things. When I’m not in school, you can probably find me cooking something new in the kitchen or spending quality time with my family and our two rescue dogs.
