My name is Mary Kathryn Patterson. This is my twenty-fifth year with Lexington City schools. I was a teacher assistant for three years, a classroom for seventeen years and our school media specialist for the past five 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. 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.
