My name is Mrs. Pucket and I am thrilled to be teaching kindergarten at Norman Smith Elementary. Kindergarten is a special time filled with lots of new adventures and I believe that a child’s unique talents, experiences, and personality truly enhance our classroom. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nebraska-Kearney and began teaching at Norman Smith Elementary School during the 2021-2022 school year. Prior to this position, I worked in higher education and the social work field for almost 25 years. After living in Nebraska our entire lives, my husband, our son, and our daughter plus her husband relocated to the great state of Tennessee in May 2020. While at home, I love to scrapbook and research genealogy and our family loves to camp and spend time with our three miniature dachshunds, Charlie, Quincy and Poppy-Mae.
