I am so excited to be a Mariner! This will be year 35 for me and I love teaching! Originally from the Finger Lakes region of New York, I earned my bachelors and masters degrees from SUNY Brockport. My doctoral study focused on looping and student connectedness. I have taught kindergarten, sixth grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and graduate students. My passion is in looping with fourth and fifth grade students. In my free time, I love to hang out with my two grandblessings (one will also be a Mariner next year), ride my motorcycle, and go hiking. 

Ahoy Mariners! My name is Tracy Foxx and I’m thrilled to be aboard the fourth grade team at Matt! I have a Bachelor’s in Special Education from Appalachian State University and a Master’s in Elementary Education from Trevecca Nazarene University.  This will be my 20th year teaching.   Throughout my career, I’ve taught special education, second, third, sixth, and eighth grade.  I’m married to Kelle Foxx and we have two boys, Luke (9) and Carter (5).  I love shelling at the beach, cheering my boys on at sporting events, reading, and traveling with my friends and family.  I’m ready to set sail this year by “Doing what MATTers today to inspire tomorrow!"

Hello friends! I’m so grateful to be a part of the Mariner family this year, as a 4th grade teacher! I graduated from FAU with a BAE in K-6 and am also K-12 special education certified. I am a mom of 2 boys, Lincoln (7) & Edison (5) and a bonus mom of 3 boys, Jordan (20), Jayden (16) & Justin (13). Throughout my career, I’ve taught grades 1, 2, 4 and K-5 special ed. I’ve stayed home to raise my babies for the last five years and now Edison and I are elated to join Lincoln, and all of you, at Matt! My husband Jason and I moved our family from FL to GA, in 2019 & it was a wonderful decision. I am looking forward to an exciting and fun filled year of teaching my new babies and learning from them as well. We are ready to SAIL! 💙💚

Hi! My name is Jordan Miller. I am a 4^th grade teacher at Matt Elementary. When I’m not teaching my students, I like to spend time with my family, coach soccer, horseback ride, and read. I’m married with three boys under five and a six-year-old fur baby. I love the Auburn Tigers and playing golf when the weather is nice. I am obsessed with education and hoping my passion shines through to my students.

Welcome Aboard Everyone for another year here at Matt Elementary! My name is Patricia Morgan. 

I have traveled here from the country roads of West Virginia with my husband and two of my four children, Tiffany and Wyatt. As a new teacher to Forsyth county, I am proud to say I have many experiences that I have learned from and many more to share. My learning background includes being a graduate of Western Governors University with an interdisciplinary BA and mathematics MA degrees. I have been teaching for more than a decade, given a range of settings that include public, charter, and private school systems. I love to try new and exciting things within my classroom and strive to guide and mentor student’s SAIL expectations. 

I am looking forward to learning new things with the help of my students from the start of every new school year. My hope as a teacher here at Matt is to be a difference maker and offer something within my classroom that you will find in no other classroom in the building. I continue to change as a teacher, parent, and individual. We never know where our country road will take us so we should do our best along the way. Never pass by an opportunity to say ‘Thank you’ or tell someone how important they are in your life. Thank you for the opportunity! I leave you with this statement:

 “Sow a thought, reap an action. Sow an action, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a Destiny”

Hi everyone! My name is Summer Owen, and this will be my third year teaching! I’m so excited about being a Matt Mariner this year. I graduated from the University of North Georgia with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. When I am not in school, I love spending time with my family, shopping, and decorating my house! I can't wait for this school year to begin. 

Fourth grade is the best grade!  I am beginning my 17th year teaching, and this will be my seventh year at Matt! I have earned a Masters and Specialist degree in technology and curriculum in education, and love trying new things in the classroom to help my students learn in new ways and discover their potential.  I am gifted certified and enjoy finding innovative and creative challenges for students.  I have two children. Ansley will be in 8th grade at Liberty Middle School and Ryder will be on my hall this year in 4^th!  I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
