My name is Ellen Francis McCray and I am from Clarksdale, MS. I am currently employed as a Pre-K Literacy Interventionist with the Clarksdale Municipal School District. We are a part of the Coahoma Early Learning Collaborative here along with our local Head Start and other private entities. I consider myself to be a hardworking, dedicated, professional that has a sincere passion for teaching early learners. I always try to exhibit diligence in all work ethics and performances.

ACTIVITIES

My hobbies include shopping, decorating, traveling, cooking, painting, drawing, and encouraging others to be a pillar of kindness. I am committed to helping children create a love of education. I am passionate about learning and love finding innovative strategies to present different skills to help children achieve their educational goals. I believe in creating a conducive welcoming educational environment that will instill a lifelong passion for learning in all areas of life for each child. My motto will always be, “If a child cannot learn the way I teach, then I should teach the way that the child learns.” I have several quotes and inspirational messages that have helped me throughout life and the pandemic; Isaiah 41:10,

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” However, my devotional daily scriptures for the year are: Hebrews 13:5, Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
