My name is Fran Gay.  I have been teaching here at Belvedere Elementary for all of my eighteen years in this profession.  I have taught firsts, second, third, and now I am teaching my second 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 in middle school.  My youngest, Will, is in fourth grade this year.  I attend First Baptist Church of North Augusta where I have been a member my entire life.  I love working with children not only in my profession but also as an Awana teacher at my church.  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!
