🍎✨ Some teachers teach. Some teachers inspire. And some teachers leave a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know them. ✨🍎

Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate Mrs. Molly Rogers, Woodfin Elementary School’s Teacher of the Year! 🎉💙

Molly is the definition of a teacher who leads with heart. She is humble, dedicated, patient, and endlessly committed to her students. She knows her children—not just academically, but as individuals. She sees their strengths, believes in their potential, and creates a classroom where they feel safe, valued, respected, and loved.

This year brought a new adventure as Molly transitioned from second grade to kindergarten, and she embraced the change with the same grace, enthusiasm, and genuine love for children that she brings to everything she does. It didn’t take long for her kindergarteners to adore her—and their sweet drawings, smiles, and excitement say it all! 🥰🖍️

But Molly’s impact doesn’t stop at the classroom door. She is the kind of colleague every school is lucky to have: kind, encouraging, supportive, and always willing to lend a helping hand. She is a true team player who consistently puts children and the Woodfin family first.

Molly may do extraordinary things quietly, but her impact is anything but quiet. She makes children feel seen. She makes colleagues feel supported. And she makes Woodfin a better place simply by being here. 💙

Mrs. Rogers, congratulations on this well-deserved honor! We are so proud of you and grateful for the love, kindness, and dedication you bring to Woodfin each and every day.

🌟 Congratulations, Mrs. Molly Rogers—our 2026 Teacher of the Year! 🌟

Our Woodfin Wolverine family is very excited to introduce and Welcome our new 4th grade teacher Mrs. Melody Moseley. She is going to be a wonderful addition to the Wolverine family and we cannot wait for you to meet her. Below is a little bit more about her.

Hey yall! I am Mrs. Melody Moseley,

I’m so excited to be your child’s 4th grade teacher this year! I love creating a classroom where students feel safe, challenged, and excited to learn every day. My goal is to help each child grow academically while building confidence, kindness, and a love of learning.

When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, trying new recipes, and exploring the outdoors. I believe strong partnerships between home and school help students thrive! I look forward to getting to know each of you throughout the year. Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and fun together.

The Woodfin Wolverines want to give a huge shout out to two amazing staff members. Mrs. Valerie Stiles will begin a new adventure in her educational career. She has served the families of Woodfin Elementary this past school year in fourth grade, Mrs. Stiles has been selected to serve as the new Assistant Principal of W.D. Williams Elementary School. We are so grateful for her time with us and know that she will be an amazing leader. Also, Mr.Lars Johnson who has been serving as our Exceptional Children's teacher is going to be moving into a new opportunity in Buncombe County Schools. He has led our Exceptional Children's department through amazing growth this past school year. His smiling face and positive presence will be missed tremendously. We wish him the best in his new journey.

Our Wolverine family will be welcoming back Mrs. Robin Francis. Mrs. Robin will become our new Exceptional Children’s teacher. Mrs. Robin filled in last year and will be returning to continue the amazing work that is occurring. We are very excited that she will be rejoining our team.

Meet Robin Francis (Ms. Robin)
I am excited to return to Woodfin Elementary as an Exceptional Children (EC) teacher in a role that is meaningful not only to our school community, but also to me personally. Last year, I had the privilege of serving Woodfin as a temporary EC teacher, substitute teacher, and reading /math coach. I am looking forward to building on the relationships I began with our students, families, and staff.
I have been an educator for more than 20 years and have taught in a variety of educational settings, including fourth grade in a parochial school, first grade in a public school, and first through third grades in a Montessori school. Each experience has strengthened my belief that every child has the ability to learn. As an educator, I see it as my responsibility to discover how each student learns best and provide instruction in a way that helps them understand, retain, and apply what they have learned.
One of my greatest professional interests is how the brain learns. I have been fortunate to attend several “Learning & the Brain” conferences sponsored by Harvard University, and I enjoy applying research-based strategies to help students become confident, successful learners.
My goal is to create a classroom where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and make mistakes without fear. I want every child to leave our lessons thinking, *"I can do this!"* Success is not about perfection. It is about giving your best effort, persevering through challenges, and continuing to grow. I hope to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning in every student I teach.
Outside of school, I have been happily married for 26 years. My husband and I share our home with three very spoiled cats. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, and creating healthy plant-based meals. A fun fact about me is that I am ambidextrous!
I look forward to partnering with our Woodfin families for a wonderful year of learning, growth, and success.

The Woodfin Wolverines want to extend a huge welcome to Mrs. Brittany Whitson. She will be serving our Wolverine family as an Administrator Intern this school year. We cannot wait to have her on our team. Welcome Mrs. Whitson.

My name is Brittany Whitson and I will be serving as an administrator intern this school year at Woodfin Elementary. I am looking forward to getting to know the students, staff and families that make Woodfin the special community that it is. This will be my 11th year in education. I graduated from Mars Hill University in 2016 with a B.A. in Integrated Education and a minor in Business Administration. I hold a dual license in both K-6 Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education. I have previously taught 2nd grade, 3rd grade and Special Education grades K-4. I am currently pursuing a Masters in School Administration through Western Carolina University as a Principal Fellow; I will graduate in May of 2027! In my free time I like to spend time with my husband, 6 year old daughter and 9 month old son. I look forward to working with all Woodfin staff, students and families this school year as I complete my internship!
