My name is Fran Gay.  I have been teaching here at Belvedere Elementary for all of my nineteen years in this profession.  I have taught firsts, second, third, and now I am teaching my fourth year of kindergarten.  I am really excited about working with your child this year.  I am married to my wonderful husband Arnold.  We have three children, Ella, Hayden, and Will.  My oldest two are in high school.  My youngest, Will, is in sixth grade this year.  I attend First Baptist Church of North Augusta where I have been a member my entire life.  I love not only preparing your child academically for his/her future but also preparing them to be a productive citizen in our community.  I feel that I am truly blessed being able to work with children.  I am also blessed to be able to work as such a wonderful school with a faculty and staff that are my second family.  Belvedere Elementary is the B.E.S.t!
