It's Meet the Staff Monday!
Hello! My name is Rachelle Smith. I have been in education for 27 years and 19 of them have been teaching Kindergarten. I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to teach kindergarten at Williams Elementary. I grew up in a small town and the Farmington community feels like home to me! I received my BSE from the University of Arkansas and my MSE from Arkansas State University. I became a National Board Certified Teacher in 2012 and a Master Teacher this year.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and attending sporting events.
This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week! If you see a teacher thank them for their service to our students, school, and community! #Cardstudentsareworthit
For the safety of our students we are going to dismiss school at 1:30 today. The district was made aware of a protest near campus and the safety of our students is our top priority. #Cardstudentsareworthit

It's Meet the Staff Monday!
Hello! My name is Alexis Shelley and it is my very first year teaching. I am so honored to be teaching second grade at Williams elementary. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with my Bachelors in elementary education in 2020. Before that I attended school here at Farmington from kindergarten through high school. Go cards! When I’m not teaching I love spending time with my six month old Cavalier puppy, Oscar. I also enjoy spending time with my family and visiting Disney World whenever I can! Everyday when I get up I thank my lucky stars that I get to teach in this wonderful district. Once a cardinal always a cardinal!

Hello, my name is Holly Wimer and I am super proud to teach 3rd grade at Jerry Pop Williams Elementary School. This is my fifth year to teach at Williams. Before scoring this awesome job, I taught 3rd grade at Washington Elementary in Fayetteville. I have a degree in Psychology, a degree in Early Childhood Education, and a Masters in Teaching. Currently I am working on a Masters in School Counselling. I am a single mother of four crazy and wonderful boys- Jeremiah, Marco, Bruce, and Ari. I love to run and go to thrift stores in my spare time. I grew up in Fayetteville, went to the UofA at Fayetteville, and raised my family in Fayetteville! However, I consider Farmington to be my second home! Go Cardinals!
Hat Day at Williams Elementary on April 22nd!
Meet the teacher Monday! Hi, my name is Erin Lewis and I teach second grade at Jerry Pop Williams Elementary. This is my fifth year teaching in Farmington and my seventh year teaching second grade. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Master of Arts in Teaching. I grew up and graduated high school in Huntsville. My husband, Austin Lewis, grew up in Farmington and we knew we wanted our children to attend school here. We have two children, Logan (3) and Abby (1). When I’m not teaching, I enjoy playing with my kids, being outside, going on walks, reading, and baking. I love my children and I love my students. I am very blessed to live in Farmington and work at Williams Elementary. It is a great community to have the privilege to be a part of.
Two of our 3rd Grade Ambassadors led the Pledge of Allegiance today!
