Hello!  My name is Teri Tillinghast. This year marks my 30th year with the Jefferson City School District, and I am so excited to be teaching fourth grade here at Lawson Elementary School!!  I have earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, a Master's Degree in Administration and Curriculum & Instruction, and a Specialist's Degree in Administration.  

I have been married for 24 years to my husband, Chad.  We have two children, Trent and Sam.  As a family, we love to have movie night, go out to eat, and watch and play sports.  We have a two year old Cairn Terrier named Remi who loves to snuggle, play ball, and go for walks.  

In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks, reading books, and visiting with my family and friends.  I'm looking forward to a fabulous 2024 - 2025 school year!!  Go, Lions!!
