Mrs. Leda Draeger
This is my 7th year teaching 5th grade at Chukker Creek Elementary. This year I will be teaching math and science.
This is my 16th year teaching in total. I taught preschool in Wisconsin. In North Carolina, I taught third, fourth and fifth grade. Prior to teaching, I enjoyed a different career in marketing and fund-raising for non-profit organizations. I worked in public relations and marketing for the Racine Zoological Society, the Journal Times, Central Piedmont Community College and PBS Friends.
I have been married for over 30 years and have four wonderful children, two fabulous in-laws, one grandson and a granddaughter. My two oldest children live in the Charlotte, NC area with their spouses. My youngest is attending Winthrop University.
I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, one block away from Lake Michigan. My first degree is in Communications from the University of Wisconsin. I received my teaching degree from Queens University in Charlotte, NC. I also have a Gifted and Talented certificate from University of South Carolina Aiken.
In the summer months, you will find me enjoying my family in either Wisconsin or North Carolina. I also enjoy long walks in HItchcock Woods and reading a great book.
