1st Grade

1Hello! My name is Ashton Simmons. This will be my first year teaching at CCA, and I am so excited to begin! I have been at CCA for the last several years doing After-school care, subbing, and this last year I was an Aide in 1st and 2nd grade.

 I attended Aims Community College to complete my Associate’s degree in Elementary Education. I am finishing with my Bachelor’s degree at Liberty University. 
I am passionate about young learners having a safe, loving, and enjoyable learning experience where relationships and education can be fostered. 

As I enter this year of teaching, I will be mentored by Mrs. Kelly Graybill–an amazing educator with years of experience in the field. I am truly honored to learn from such a qualified teacher!

Outside of education, I love spending time with family and friends, going on walks, and listening to music. I also enjoy home decorating, organizing, and cosmetology. 

I am eager to get to know each student this year, as well as work with the most supportive staff! 

Let’s go 1st grade!
