Hello! My name is Mrs. Janice Meusel. I teach 4th grade here at Aiken El! I was blessed to be raised by my grandparents who became my guardians when I was 10. Without them, I would not be who I am today. My husband Adam's job moved us here from Connecticut in 2021. I taught in CT for 11 years, mostly teaching 2nd grade. Upon moving to South Carolina, I taught 4th grade in Charleston before moving to Aiken. I love being a teacher and love helping students grow and learn! I received a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and English Literature from Central Connecticut State University in 2009 and my Master's in Reading and Language Arts from there as well in 2013. I have endorsements in Gifted and Talented and Read to Succeed. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy reading mystery and thriller novels, cuddling my fur baby Maddie, riding my Peleton, and spending time with my husband.
