My name is Mary Kathryn Patterson. This is my twenty-ninth year with Lexington City schools. I was a teacher assistant for three years, a classroom for twenty years and our school media specialist for the past six years. I received my degree from Salem in 2000 in Elementary Education. In 2022, I graduated with my Masters degree from East Carolina. I live with my husband and our one son. We have five cats and two dogs. We recently adopted a new kitten named Elfie. Some of my favorite things to do are go for walks in the woods, listen to music and read books. I love to travel. Every three to four years we go back to England to see my husband's family.
