Greetings!  My name is Sara Larsen. I am from Chattanooga, Tennessee.  I attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where I majored in Special Education.  I graduated in 2000, got married and moved to Virginia because of my husband's job.  For two years, I taught the severe/profoundly handicapped students of Waynesboro, Virginia. I had my first child (Addison) in Virginia and got homesick, so my husband transferred back to Chattanooga.  After taking a year off with Addison, I went back to work at Loftis Middle School teaching inclusion classes and Math/Science Alternate Achievement classes.  I taught at Loftis for 5 years, during which I had my second daughter, Jillian, who is now 3 years old.  I hated to say good-bye to Loftis' students and faculty, but my husband got a job with the government and with that...a transfer.  We welcomed the new adventure; so, here we are in Edmond, Oklahoma!  We've been here since March ('09) and slowly but surely I am learning my way around, still using my GPS at times.  I have been very impressed with the friendliness and welcoming nature of the people of Edmond.  We have been truly blessed to have moved here and to have already made wonderful friends.  I look forward to meeting more people and working at Deer Creek Elementary. 

In my spare time...ha ha... I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and watching movies (all kinds...except horror).  I have a southern accent, I love Tennessee Volunteer football, I love to smile, and my voice has a tendency to carry long distances which is useful when my girls leave the door open and my yellow lab runs out the door to explore the neighborhood!

I have heard so many wonderful things about Deer Creek Schools!  I can't wait to be a part of the number one school district in Oklahoma!
