Berewick Elementary
Fourth Grade
Believe It To Achieve It
My name is Susan Echols and this will be my 16th year of teaching in an elementary school. I decided to become a teacher when my girls started kindergarten. I received my undergraduate degree from Appalachian State in 1987 and my teaching certification many years later from Mercer University in Atlanta. 5 years ago I earned my National Board Certification in Literacy. I am a mother of twin girls, Lauren and Hannah, who are both nurses in Birmingham, Alabama. I love cats and dogs but do not have one and I love to travel. My favorite color is pink, I enjoy reading books, chewing gum, and sitting on the beach. I look forward to another great year at Berewick!

Mrs. Nickel
My name is Jaclyn Nickel and I'm teaching 4th grade Math and Science for the 2019 - 2020 school year. This will be my eighth year teaching. However, I have been involved in the lives of children ever since I was in middle school, often baby sitting for children of all ages in my hometown and volunteering my time in elementary schools while I was a high school student. I graduated in the Spring of 2012 from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida with a degree in Elementary Education and later moved to Charlotte in October of 2015. I strongly believe that each and every child can learn and I look forward to an exciting school year!

Hello! My name is Kimberly Abarno and this will be my seventh year as an elementary teacher. Originally I am from New Jersey where I went to college to receive my Bachelors and Masters in Education. After college I decided to move to North Carolina to begin my career. This will be my first year teaching fourth grade after having spent two years teaching fifth grade and four years teaching third. I am also a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. I am very excited to see what this year will bring and to work with you and your child to have a successful, fantastic year. Thank you for sharing your babies with us this year!

Hello! My name is Brittani Singleton and I am super excited to be teaching your fourth grade scholar this year. For the 2019-2020 year, I will be teaching math and science. This will be my eighth year teaching but my third year at Berewick. Working with kids has always been my passion. I started out early on working the the YMCA during summer camps and after school programs and baby sitting for family and friends. I am a Carolina girl at heart (originally from Columbia, South Carolina) and I love to eat, shop, and hang out with friends. I look forward to working with you to help your scholar reach their goals and beyond!
