I attended Troy University and received a Bachelor's Degree in K-6 Elementary and Collaborative Education (Fall 2003).  I received a Master's Degree in Elementary Education in the Summer of 2005, also from Troy University. 

I interned at Goshen Elementary in third, fourth, and fifth grades.  I also spent some time with the special education teacher and the reading coach.  I was then offered a position as a Kindergarten aide for Mrs. Register at GES from January until May.  I enjoyed this because I only interned with upper grades.   In May Dr. Carter, at Pike County Elementary, offered me a Kindergarten position.  I jumped at the chance.  This is my fifteenth year at Pike County Elementary.  

My name is Beverly Chance.  I am originally from Jackson, Alabama.  I came to Troy to attend Troy University and liked it so well I decided to stay!  I have been living in Troy now for eighteen years.  I am married to Jonathan Chance who is a band director at Luverne High School.  We have two daughters -- Annalee is 8 and Brylee is 5, a dog Daisy, and three cats.  We stay pretty busy between ball games and other school activities but when I do have free time I enjoy reading.  I thoroughly enjoy teaching Kindergarten.
