E.P. Todd School -

WELCOME TO TODD! We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Frances Memmott to our Preschool Team at EP Todd! I'm so excited to join the amazing team here at E. P. Todd School! A little about me: I'm originally from Columbia, SC, and I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with an add-on certification in teaching students with learning disabilities from the University of South Carolina-Upstate. After college, I taught preschool (3K) at Gaffney Head Start for 3 years. For the past 9 years, I've been teaching Preschool Special Education in the Child Development Centers in Greenville County Schools. Teaching young minds and watching them grow has been such a rewarding experience for me. On a personal note, my husband Corey and I recently moved to Spartanburg to be closer to family. We have a Labrador retriever named Heidi, who is absolutely adorable but can be a bit of a rascal! 🐾 And we are thrilled to be expecting our first baby in August! 👶💕 I'm looking forward to an incredible school year ahead and can't wait to meet all of you and your wonderful children. Let's make this year a great one filled with learning, growth, and lots of fun!

🌟 Welcome to the EP Todd School Family! 🌟 We are thrilled to introduce our new bookkeeper, Mrs. Danielle Lenzmeier! She brings a wealth of experience and dedication to our team. Since moving to South Carolina a year ago, she has embraced the great outdoors, hiking the tallest peak in the state, swimming in waterfall pools, and zip-lining through the mountains. 🌲🏞️ A true book lover, she often finishes a book within 24 hours and loves finding quiet places to read. 📚✨Her children know if they can't find her, she is most likely reading! She's also a big dog lover, with three German Shepherd mix pups at home—and would happily add more if she could! 🐾❤️ Originally from Minnesota, she calls it POP, not soda, and firmly believes in "duck, duck, gray duck." 🦆 and not goose. Join us in giving her a warm welcome as she starts this exciting journey with us! 🌟📚💼

WELCOME TO TODD! We are excited to welcome Ms. Marina Robichau to our Montessori program!🌟 I'm Marina Robichau (pronounced "row-bish-oh" ☺️), and I'm thrilled to join the EP Todd team this fall as a Lower Elementary Montessori teacher! 🎓✨ I recently graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Elementary Education. This past spring, I completed my student teaching in a Montessori classroom and fell in love with the method. 🌿📚 A little about me: I love being outdoors whenever I can, getting lost in a good book, and painting whenever inspiration strikes. 🎨🌳 I can't wait to meet your students and make this school year amazing together! 🌟💖

WELCOME TO TODD! It is with great pleasure that we welcome Ms. Nash to our First Grade Team at EP Todd!🌟 My name is Tia Nash, and I'm excited to join this amazing team! I grew up in Irmo, SC, and I’m passionate about being outdoors, fitness, thrifting, cooking/baking, traveling, and reading. 📚✨ My favorite book is Because I Had a Teacher by Kobi Yamada. I'm a University of Phoenix graduate with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education, and I absolutely love teaching the littles! This year marks my 5th year of teaching, and I’ve taught various age groups from birth to 3 years, 4-year-old Pre-K, Kindergarten, and now 1st grade! Currently, I'm pursuing my master's in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling at Walden University. 🎓🌿 The classroom inspires me because of the unique qualities each student brings. As I strive to make an impact on them, they make an even bigger impact on me. Together, we grow in knowledge! 🌟❤️

WELCOME TO TODD! We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Windless to the EP Todd School family! She will join our us in 4K Preschool Special Education! 🌟 Ms. Windless, a proud graduate of the University of Memphis, is passionate about education and dedicated to providing support for all children. 📚✨ When she's not in the classroom, you can find her exploring the great outdoors with her adorable dog, Princess Chloe. 🐾🌿 Join us in giving Ms. Windless a warm welcome! 🌟👩‍🏫💖

Summer Reading Camp in D7 is a BLAST! Our principals and district administrators had just as much fun being guest readers as our students did hearing them. We grow and learn TOGETHER in D7. This week, Summer Reading Camp students had an extra treat with a visit from our last guest, Alex Saunders, a children’s book author, illustrator, singer, songwriter. The kids LOVED him! Dream big, students…seeing others do what they love is one important way we inspire and equip! #ToInspireAndEquip #TEAM7
