Mrs. Curry:
My name is Melissa Curry and I'll be your English language arts and social studies teacher this year! I am thrilled about our year together. This is my fourth year at Lufkin and my ninth year teaching! Wow, has it really been that long?! I am a North Carolina State University graduate (GO PACK). My degree is in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in Language Arts and Social Studies. In 2013, I earned a Master’s of Art in Reading Education at NC A&T and am a licensed Reading Specialist for grades K-12. This past fall I earned National Board Certification in English Language Arts. As you can see I am a lifelong learner and am very passionate about a well-rounded education. I grew up in Richfield, North Carolina, a small rural community about 100 miles west of Apex. Currently, I live in Cary with my highschool sweetheart (celebrate 7 years of marriage on July 11th). I love outdoor adventures, traveling, and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to spending the rest of the year with this group of bright sixth grade students!

Mrs. Farinholt:
My name is Natalie Farinholt and I am very excited to be your math and science teacher this year! This is my third year here at Lufkin and my fifth year teaching. I cannot wait to see what this year has in store! I was born in Raleigh, but we moved to Wilson when I was 2. Thirteen years later, my family moved to Wilmington, where I attended high school, and eventually college. I went to NC STATE for my freshman year and then transferred to UNCW where I graduated with honors in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in Math and Science. I love the WOLFPACK and I am a huge fan but my home was in Wilmington and I loved being with my family (and of course at the beach). I currently live in Fuquay-Varina with my wonderful husband, Yuri, my princess Priya, my cat. Teaching is a passion of mine and my mission is to instill a love for learning in all of my students, creating life-long learners. I am looking forward to a great year together!
