Meet Mrs. Tiffany, The newest member of our VPK program! Help us make her feel welcome to our Bear Family! 🩵💛🐻
Hello Westover families! My name is Tiffany Matheny, and I’m so excited to join the Westover Elementary team as a Pre-K paraprofessional this year. While this is my first official year as a para, I’ve spent the past year substitute teaching in county schools, which gave me valuable experience working with students of all ages.
I am happily married and proud to be the mom of five amazing children—three of whom attend Westover and two who are students at LHS. As both a parent and now a staff member, I’m deeply committed to supporting our students and helping them grow and succeed in a safe, caring, and fun learning environment.
I’m looking forward to a wonderful year ahead, getting to know our students, staff, and families. Let’s go Bears! 🐻
