My name is Ellory Schroeder and I am a first-year teacher this year. I am teaching 4th grade Language Arts and Social Studies. I graduated this past May from The Ohio State University (Go Buckeyes!). In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family and baking when I get the chance. I am super excited to begin this new adventure as a Black Knight! #TeamTuesday #BeABlackKnight
