Sonia Prichard is our newest third grade teacher. She is a graduate of Lees-McRae College with a degree in elementary education.

She recently moved to the area with her husband, who is pastor at Pine Grove United Methodist Church in Kernersville. She enjoys going to the beach, reading, walking, running, and spending time with her 13 grandchildren. Sonia is thrilled with the opportunity to be a part of the Forbush Elementary family and can't wait to get started!

Dana Collins is excited to begin her 5th year of teaching as a new 2nd grade teacher at Forbush Elementary School.

She recently moved from New Jersey to East Bend with her husband and their dog where they are enjoying some quiet, country living! When she isn't in her classroom, Dana enjoys performing in community theatre productions, recording music with her family, traveling and adventuring, reading, and crafting. She's looking forward to getting started in a few weeks!
