Who is Mrs. Harwell?
Teacher. Wife. Mother. Grandmother. Pet owner. Sister. Reader. Vacationer.
I've been living and teaching in Polk County for 44 years. Of those, 22 years were in elementary school. For the last 22 years, I've been teaching 6th grade and LOVE it! This is my 11th year at Lawton Chiles Middle Academy where I've taught Reading, Language Arts, Global Tech, and Science. I went to Andrew Junior College and Florida State University. My husband, Glenn, was born and raised in Lakeland. We've been married for 45 years. I have two sons, Brian and Michael that both graduated from Lakeland Senior High School right here in Lakeland. I'm a proud grandmother of Madison, age 17 and Parker, age 14 and my grand-dog, Legend. In my free time, I love reading, playing with my dog Vegas, vacationing with my family and planning activites to use in the classroom.
I'm looking forward to laughing and learning with you this year!
