My name is Emily Grace Hoppes. I grew up in Alabama, but moved to Mississippi when I got married two years ago.  My husband and I then relocated to Utah in January and have loved our time here. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in 2015 from the University of Alabama and will be completing my master’s degree in Middle Level Education from Mississippi State University very soon. 

I am excited to teach fourth grade this year!  This will be my eighth year teaching. Prior to teaching at Mt. Loafer I taught at Canyon Elementary in Spanish Fork and Red Cliffs Elementary in Nephi.    

My name is Christy McGinnis. I grew up in Northwest Ohio but currently live in Provo, Utah with my husband. I recently graduated from Brigham Young University in Elementary Education. I completed my student teaching experience at Mt. Loafer Elementary in 5th grade and I am excited to be returning to the best school ever! This is my first year teaching and I am so excited to be fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. I enjoy singing, baking, reading, playing board games, going on walks, spending time with my friends and family, and (of course) teaching!

My name is Nancy Cornaby and I'm excited to be teaching at Mt. Loafer.  I went to Utah State University and graduated with my bachelor’s degree in education.  This is my 13th year teaching and I love it.  I have taught kindergarten, first and second grades.  I grew up here in Salem and still live here with my family.  James and I have four children – 8 year old Nikale, 6 year old Jake, 5 year old Tate, and our Lucy is 2 months.  They make life exciting!

My name is Sage Smith, I am from Murray, Utah and LOVE everything about Utah. I recently finished my final classes at Brigham Young University in the Early Childhood Education program. I am passionate about the development and academic success of young children. This year will be my first year teaching! I will be mentored as an intern and will graduate in April of 2018.

I am from Southern California, born and raised. I love to read anything by Jane Austen, but Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is my favorite book.
