Hello!  My name is Laura Silveira. I have been teaching for 24 years, after graduating from Ball State University.   I moved to New Bern 21 years ago.  I am originally from Ohio.  I love living near the beach and relaxing by the ocean waves.  My husband, Steve,  and I have a four-legged child named Ivy.  We adopted her seven years ago.  She is a mix of lab, shepard, with some husky.  She's a bundle of joy and loves the beach as much as I do.

I am looking forward to working with you and your child this school year.  I am going to be focused, with your support, on making sure that your child grows both academically and socially and is prepared for their future endeavors.
