Welcome to LES, Madison Crumpton!
"Hi! My name is Madison Crumpton, and I am thrilled to be joining the Laurens Elementary family as a Special Education teacher! I recently graduated from Presbyterian College with bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Special Education. I am passionate about helping students grow in confidence, independence, and academic success while creating a classroom where every child feels safe, included, and celebrated. One of my favorite parts of teaching is creating fun, hands-on lessons that give every student different ways to learn and succeed.
When I'm not at school, I enjoy cooking, exploring the Carolinas, making memories with my family, and spending a little too much money trying out new crafts. I can't wait to get to know each of my students and their families, and I'm excited for a wonderful school year together!"

"I'm excited to be returning home to Laurens Elementary as the Reading Coach! This marks my 20th year in education, with 17 years spent teaching in early childhood and Lower Montessori classrooms, followed by the last two years serving as an instructional coach. Having previously spent nine wonderful years teaching at Laurens Elementary, I'm thrilled to be back and look forward to supporting our teachers, inspiring young readers, and helping students grow. I can't wait to see what this new chapter brings! "
