Hi PCPS Families! I'm Kristen Reynolds and I am thrilled to begin another school year with the Eagles at Pumpkin Center Primary School! I grew up in Lincolnton and live in the area with my husband, two daughters, two dogs, two cats, and three chickens! We love the outdoors and spending time together as a family.

I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education, continued on to receive a Master's Degree in Reading Education and then received my Graduate Certificate in School Leadership a few years later. This is my 16th year in elementary education. My favorite thing to see as an educator is those 'AHA' moments when ideas and lessons click with students! Their faces brighten and you can see those wheels turning! I love spending time in our classrooms, interacting with students and teachers and watching our youngest learners grow! 

This year is going to be a wonderful year! We have so many lessons, events, and community activities planned. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say hello, please don't hesitate to reach out!
