Mrs. Cornelius

My name is Amy Cornelius and this is my 8th full time year at Richland.  I have fallen in love with the teachers and families of Richland and I consider it a blessing to be here!

 

I stayed at home with our boys for 10 years before going back to school and getting my degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Memphis.  After graduating, I went back to school and added an additional endorsement in Elementary Education.   

 

I have been married for 21 years to my husband Michael.  We have 3 boys: Thomas (21), Carter (19) and Davis (18).  Needless to say our life is busy... but I wouldn't have it any other way! 

   

A little more about me...

I love to read and spend time with my family.

My favorite vacation spot is the beach!

I love nothing  more than for things to be simple and low key.  

I am easy going and easy to get along with.

I am incredibly introverted and love alone time. 

I LOVE to laugh and have fun.

I am a chocaholic...

My favorite places to shop are Target and Old Navy.

My favorite restaurants are Bonefish, J. Alexanders, Carrabba's, and Bahama Breeze.

One of the most relaxing things for me is getting a pedicure.

My favorite smells and fragrances are clean/fresh.

My favorite drink is McAlister's sweet tea.

 

I am looking forward to the growth that I will see in each of my students this year.  I hope to be a positive influence on their education and to make learning fun.  By getting to know each student and loving them for who they are, I hope to reach each child at their point of need.  I know this will be an amazing year and I am excited to be a part of helping this group of students develop into life long learners!
