Greetings! My name is Mary Beth Davenport and I LOVE reading! This year I will be serving as the Reading Specialist at Mill Creek. I look forward to a shared partnership with teachers as I provide support in the area of reading instruction. I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Auburn University and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of North Alabama, as well as additional graduate work in reading from Appalachian State University and East Carolina University. My teaching experience includes teaching both 5^th and 2^nd grades, as well as working as a K-5 Reading Specialist. While I have lived and taught in Alabama, North Carolina, and Tennessee, I’m originally from Huntsville and enjoy living and working in Madison. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we have three sons and a cute Labrador Retriever named Rookie. When I am not at Mill Creek Elementary, you’ll find me at the ball field watching my boys play baseball or cheering on the Auburn Tigers—War Eagle!
