Laura Holbrook

Grade 2 Sub Teacher

Hello, my name is Laura Holbrook and I’m excited to join the ICS community this year as the substitute teacher for the 2B class. I’ve been in close collaboration with the primary 2B teacher, Ms. Leslie Fahr, to ensure a smooth start and transition for the students. Ms. Leslie’s family recently celebrated the birth of their second child and she plans to return to her classroom in the near future. I began my teaching career as a North Carolina Teaching Fellow after completing my degree at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. I last taught at the Carolina International School, also in North Carolina, and was a member of the U.N.I.T.E (Uganda and North Carolina International Teaching for the Environment) exchange team. I believe that all children can and want to learn. Providing an encouraging and safe environment allows children to strive for excellence and reach their full potential. In my free time I enjoy running, knitting, reading, and spending time with my husband, our puppy Addi, and our two cats, Skippy and Cat. I’m looking forward to a great start to second grade.
