About the Teacher/Welcome Msg

Hello I am Miss Burks!! I am from Hernando, MS.

This is my 5th year at SIS. I taught 3rd Grade for 4 years before moving to 4th grade Language Arts!

I spent my whole life in Hernando, MS but currently live in Memphis, TN.

When I am not at school I am with my family or friends, traveling or checking books off of my list to read!

I am so excited to have your child in my class for the 2022/2023 school year and to share my love of reading with them! 

Education

I am a graduate of Hernando High School (2014), Northwest Mississippi Community College (2017) where I received my Associates of Arts degree, and The University of Mississippi (2019) where I received my Bachelors in Elementary Education (K-6). I have endorsements in science (7-12), social studies (7-12), and Mild/Moderate SPED (K-12). I graduated from Arkansas State University (2021) with my MSE  in Reading. I decided that I love learning so much that I went back to Arkansas State to obtain my Ed.S in Educational Leadership (2022)! Go Red Wolves!
