Meet #A3AllStar, Mrs. Dawn Moore! ๐๐
Mrs. Moore is the School Librarian at Starr Elementary School. Dawn has been a teacher for 27 years, all in Anderson 3. She started her career at Starr-Iva Middle, teaching 8th and 6th grade for two years. She then taught 3rd grade at Iva Elementary for four years before holding the position of Teacher Leader, splitting the week between Iva and Starr for seven years.
Moore is a proud Crescent alumnus. She earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education from Erskine College before obtaining a master's in Library and Information Science from USC. Dawn and her husband, David, have three children, Taylor, Will, and Draven.
"What do you value most about your position?"
"I love the fact that I get to interact with every student in my school each week. For at least five years, I get the privilege of watching these kids grow. They not only grow in stature, but they grow from beginning readers to advanced readers. I get the opportunity to read aloud, suggest new authors and genres, promote problem-solving, and guide students to become more independent learners. It truly is the best job in the school!"
Mrs. Moore is a Starr Elementary staple. We are blessed to have her; she is truly an #A3AllStar! Congratulations! ๐


Monday, March 13, is a Professional Development day for Anderson 3 Staff and a student holiday. Students will return Tuesday, March 14! ๐๐
