Hello! My name is Mary Lou Rushing.  This year I am teaching 1st grade after teaching 2nd grade for four years at Hobbton Elementary School. Previously, I taught 4th grade for 17 years. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, gardening, walking my dog, traveling with my husband, and visiting my two children in their towns. I am delighted to be a Wildcat and to be working with your child!  Please know that your participation, concerns, and questions are welcome.
