Meet Mrs. Baysore!

Welcome to 4th grade! I'm Mrs. Baysore and I'm excited to be starting my sixth year of teaching. I graduated from Hope College in Holland, MI. with a degree in Elementary Education...Go Dutch!

Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my family. My husband and I have a wonderful 11 month-old son named Wesley, who keeps us busy and brings so much joy to our lives! We also have a crazy Golden Doodle named Archie who is a big part of our family and loves to be wherever we are.

I love helping students grow and gain confidence each day. I am passionate about creating a classroom where students feel supported and excited to learn. I'm looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and getting to know all of my students and their families!
