Welcome!
You may have heard your child talk about a "Ms. Reid"...that's me!
This is my 8th year at Brewer Middle School and I love it here.
I teach 8th grade English Language Arts and English I. I've also been known to teach Creative Writing, 7th grade, and yearbook from time to time.
I am so excited to have your child in my class! I can't wait to see how their story unfolds.
"...the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant, it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." -Mewtwo
About Me
Hello and welcome to my page! This is just a little blurb to know a bit about me. I have a passion for helping students become the best versions of themselves and helping them find out they actually like reading a bit more than they originally thought.
I was born and raised in Greenwood, SC, and attended Lander University for my Bachelor of Arts Degree. I am GT certified through Converse College and received my GCDF from Midlands Tech. I recently had a son named Archer--he is the best! I love to travel, read, create, and learn new things.
