Please help us welcome Mrs. Audrey Cooper to the Vann team! She will serve as our new instructional coach.
Mrs. Cooper shares: "As a proud Conway native, I bring over 13 years of experience in education—most recently teaching first grade at Ellen Smith Elementary. I am passionate about supporting teachers, empowering students, and fostering a culture of continuous growth. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Central Arkansas and later completed my K–6 Special Education Endorsement at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. This year, I am also honored to be part of the IMPACT Arkansas Instructional Leadership Fellowship. Through this program, I look forward to expanding my skills in coaching, leadership, and systems-level thinking to better serve our teachers and students. I am married to my wonderful husband Marcus. We have three amazing children, a sweet granddaughter, and a very spoiled beagle named Jordan. In my free time, I enjoy singing and spending time with family and friends."

Parents, teachers, and other adults can support oral language development by encouraging children to engage in purposeful conversations. Here are some 4th of July table talk topics to use with your student(s) this week that will help them practice their oral language skills and give you a glimpse of their fantastic imagination!
