Hi everyone!  My name is Sonja Woessner, and this is my second year as a kindergarten teacher at CCS.  I was a stay-at-home mom before my son started kindergarten last year here at CCS.  It's been a blessing getting back into the classroom as teaching is my calling and my passion! 

 

I grew up in Goldsboro but am originally from Upstate New York. I am a "Southern-Fried Yankee" through and through!  I moved to Wilson County after marrying my husband, Chris, in 2014.  We have one son, Gabriel, who is entering first grade this year. 

 

I graduated from East Carolina University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education K-6 with a Concentration in Reading K-12 and taught five years in the Wayne County Public Schools.  I was a First Grade Instructional Assistant for eight years in Wayne County prior to getting my teaching degree.  While I was an instructional assistant, I taught children with autism and other disabilities for seven years at a six-week summer camp that took place in Goldsboro.  This is my seventh year teaching, but my fifteenth year in education.  Before getting into the public school system, I was a daycare director for three years.  Working with children has been in my blood since I was a young girl.  Teaching is truly a calling and now that I teach in a Christian school, I can share the love of Jesus more freely with my students!  I look forward to getting to know you and your children this school year.  Welcome to CCS!!
