My name is Amanda Johnson  and I live here in Fuquay with my husband and daughter. We live on a farm with horses,chickens, bees, a cat and a dog. My husband and I run a small business where we sell bees and the honey that we cultivate from our bee hives. I have been teaching in general for 20 years, but teaching with wake county for 4 years. My hobbies are spending time with my 3 year old, working out, gardening, and hanging out with my pets. My favorite part of teaching is building relationships with my students and getting to teach students skills they will use the rest of their life. 

Hi, my name is Lacy Hadsell and I’m thrilled to be your child’s kindergarten teacher!  I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies from William Jessup University and obtained a North Carolina teaching license after moving here last June.  I live with husband and our three children under the age of eight in Fuquay. 

In my classroom, we will learn through movement, song, and hands-on activities that engage your child’s curiosity.  My focus is creating a classroom community that helps your child to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.  I look forward to partnering with you! 

Hi My name is Mrs. Heredia! This is my ninth year teaching and I love being a kindergarten teacher! I live with my wonderful husband Mr. Cris and our sweet dog Sadie. My bonus daughter Cerenity lives in West Virginia! I love reading, Legos, playing games, and I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I bring that same creativity and playfulness into the classroom, where I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive space for all students. I believe learning should be fun and engaging, and I’m always ready to make it memorable! 

Hi BRES family! I’m Ms. Grieco (rhymes with “echo”) and I’ve been teaching since 1988.  I took a few years off while raising my family and moving around this country. I'm an Irish~Italian native Bostonian and I am thrilled and excited to be joining the BRES Kindergarten team! 

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, serving at my church, writing, reading, and going on adventures! I have 4 children who are all married and I now have 5 grandchildren! 

My call to teach allows me to encourage others daily and share my passion for learning!

Hi Bowling Road Families! My name is Danielle Rinaldo, and I’m so excited to be starting my first year as a teacher. I’m originally from New Jersey, but I moved to North Carolina to attend NC State University. I recently graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and an add-on in Special Education. Teaching has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I truly love seeing students grow—both academically and personally. I enjoy staying active throughout the school year and always look forward to the fall season. It’s my favorite time of year, filled with football, crisp weather, and quality time with family and friends. I’m thrilled to be joining the team and can’t wait to be part of the incredible journey at our brand-new school!
