​Welcome 5th grade class of 2018-2019!

---

Hello! My name is Mrs. McCutcheon. This is my 9th year of teaching. I received my Bachelor's Degree from LSUS and my teaching certification from LA Tech University.  My awesome husband of 11 years, Ty,  is the Accounting Manager for Desoto Parish School Board. I have three children, Tripp-10, Magnolia-7, and Georgia-4. We also have 2 dogs, Bama and Chloe and 1 cat, Troy, 2 chickens, and a turtle named Gurtle  (now deceased). In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, making things with my Silhouette, going to dinner with my girlfriends, and hosting events for my Calvary church family. Halloween is my most favorite holiday, and I LOVE to decorate my  house for it! I'm excited about this new year and can't wait to get started!
