                     About Mrs. Casteel~~

                           This is my 12th year at Madison Avenue Elementary. I have been enjoying this
                                  profession for 26 years!
                           I have taught in Desoto County, Scott County, Petal, and Madison in grades K-4 --
                                   and I always find every year to be a new adventure!
                           I graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in Elementary Education--
                                   Go Bulldogs!
                           I am a National Board Certified Teacher (2001-2011), Renewed (2011-2021).
My goal for my students is to give them a love for learning and to challenge and motivate them to always do their best.

I have been married for 36 wonderful years! and have two terrific children. When I'm not at school, I enjoy going to the movies, reading, traveling, sewing, and tinkering on the computer.

More trivial things:

I love the color "pink"
I drink lots of coffee....any flavor....
I love CHOCOLATE!
I enjoy many kinds of music....rock, pop, country, jazz, contemporary christian, and old time gospel!
I really enjoy going to the movies...
I love reading...and sometimes I even get to read grown-up books...
I love Spring!
I like ravioli, fried green tomatoes, grilled hamburgers, spinach, peanut butter, and pickles....(not all at the same time!)
I like to win when I play games!
I wish I could go to Hawaii in January!

You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
