My name is Tara Harrelson. I grew up in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I attended the Valley View School District from Kindergarten until I graduated high school in 1995. My husband and I went to school together and have been married for 20 years. We have two sons. Grayson is 16 and Tyler is 6. I love gardening, cooking, reading, and spending time with my family. On the weekends, I love to cook outside in the fire pit, fish, and go to flea markets. I am very excited about continuing to grow our school garden. Education is very important to me. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Reading Education.I have also gained my National Board Certification in Literacy.
