Meet Mrs. Mitchell
Meet
Mrs. Mitchell
My name is
Helen Mitchell and I am a 5th grade teacher at Lee
Hill Elementary School in Spotsylvania, Virginia. My husband, Bob, is a
senior systems engineer for Northrup Grumman at Fort Belvoir. I have two children, Rachel and Andrew. Rachel is
in 8th grade and Andrew is in 7th grade this year. My
stepson, Robert, graduated from Virginia
Tech in 2005. After working in California for
Intel for a
couple of years, he now attends
MIT to earn his Masters and Ph.D. My
stepdaughter, Jenny, graduated from West
Virginia University in 2007 and she is working
for RTI in North Carolina.
This year
will mark my 14th year of teaching and my 12th year teaching 5th grade at Lee
Hill. I received my BS in Elementary Education in 1990 from Texas
Wesleyan University. I did quite a bit of traveling shortly after
college to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In 1998, I moved from Fort
Worth, Texas to Spotsylvania,
Virginia and I love it here! I earned my Masters
degree in Education with an emphasis in Integrating Technology in the Classroom
from Walden University
in 2007.
I was born
in Brownwood, Texas and grew up with five sisters and one brother. My
father is a retired Methodist minister and my mother is a retired registered nurse.
They live in Texas as well as my brother and three of my sisters. I have a
sister in Montana and one in Louisiana.
Some of my
hobbies include scrapbooking, cross-stitching, and reading. However, I do
not have much time to sit and do those things. We also have two cats,
three dogs, two guinea pigs, and a 90 gallon aquarium.
I am looking
forward to another fun and exciting year of learning. Our class mascot is
a bald eagle named Patriot and we will have several activities revolving around him.
Feel free to contact me by phone at school or by e-mail.
