Mrs. Gumbel Then

Carrie Busey Elementary School: 1st Grade

Mrs. Gumbel Now

Even back when I was in 1st grade, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I grew up in Champaign, Illinois with my mom, dad and little sister. I went to college at Bradley University in Peoria and recently relocated to the Jacksonville area. This is my first year at Bluffs and I am enjoying it immensely. It is my goal to help our students learn and succeed in a fun, safe environment. 1st grade children learn so much in just one short year and to watch their growth is incredible. I am very fortunate to be teaching here at Bluffs.
