About the Teacher/Welcome Msg

Education

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Memphis and a Masters of Education from Christian Brothers University. 

Experience

I have been teaching since 2004. After teaching 2nd grade for ten years, I was given the opportunity to open a K-5 Science Lab at our school. Being a science "geek", this was something I couldn't pass up! I taught in the Science Lab for 4 years. August 2018 found me back in 5th Grade.

Bio

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Lori Umstattd, and I have been teaching since 2004. I am honored to have been selected as Teacher of the Year twice during my time at Southaven Elementary. I live in Southaven. I am also very active in the local animal rescue community and am a proud foster mom to an ever-changing group of 4-legged fur kids.
