Can you believe that Hearts’ Stories is now three years old? The students in Mrs. Edwards’ second grade class at Forestbrook Elementary school truly embraced the opportunity to meet people in our community. This year we have met so many interesting and unique people!

This year we learned about many jobs and events in our community from our guests that the children and Mrs. Edwards’ invited. Some of our guests taught us about: the special Olympics, K-9 cops, land developers, insurance agents, a hotel manager, cooks, restaurant servers, the Indian culture, a nurse, a horseback riding instructor, a green builder, a realtor, non-profit agencies, volunteers, the army, bankers, a talk show host, Coastal Carolina University’s President, and Coastal Carolina University’s head football coach. Each guest left our classroom with a special place in our hearts and a new story for us to share.

This was Mrs. Edwards’ first year at Forestbrook Elementary school. She spent the last three years at North Myrtle Beach Primary school. Mrs. Edwards moved to South Carolina in 2000 to go to Coastal Carolina University. She is originally from North Canton, Ohio. She received her Bachelors of Arts in Early Childhood Education and her Masters of Education from CCU.

We hope you enjoy reading our stories. We’ve learned how important it is to take the time to ask people about their lives and be curious about our world. We’ve told our stories, have you told yours?
