First Grade Team

Hi my name is Julianna Wells. I grew up in Texas and moved to Virginia 4 years ago. I love spending time with my husband and our daughter who is two. I also love hiking! Becoming a teacher has been a dream. I love working with children and being able to make a positive impact in their life is extremely important to me. 

I have worked in Public Education for more than a decade. During my time at Brookneal Elementary School, I had the pleasure to teach kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd grade, Title One as a Reading Specialist, Special Education, and serve as an Intervention specialist for the county. This year I have the pleasure to teach 1st grade! I graduated from Lynchburg College with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Masters in Education: Reading and Special Education. I am passionate about providing kids with opportunities and experiences. I enjoy music, sports, and spending time with my two grandchildren, husband, and attending events of my school kids.

Hi! My name is Megan Blanchard. It is an absolute joy to teach at BES! I received my undergrad from Liberty University and my masters from Old Dominion University. In my free time, I enjoy going on long walks, reading, hanging out with my family and friends, and playing with my dog, Simba.

My name is Sydney Lewis. I graduated from Liberty University and am so excited to be teaching at BES. I love getting to know my students and watching them learn and grow. Outside of school, I enjoy going on walks, hanging out with my family and friends, traveling, or watching a fun show!
