Hello!  I am Mrs. Allen, and this is my 3rd year at Conway Elementary as an ESOL teacher.   I absolutely love supporting our English Language Learners and their families. My students inspire me every day, and I feel very lucky to be a part of their school journey.  Before joining Conway, I was a literacy specialist at nearby Falmouth Elementary and a classroom teacher in Fairfax County Public Schools and in Maine. I love to read, travel, and watch any type of sport that involves Penn State or Pittsburgh teams! I have a wonderful husband, three awesome kids, and a really cute cat named Ruby. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! I am Mrs. Brown, and this is my first year at Conway as an ESOL teacher.  I have been in education for 22 years, mostly teaching the primary grades. I spent my last 16 years teaching 2nd grade in Orange County. I love being with kids and am so excited to help our ELL students with their journey. It is so inspiring to see their growth throughout the year. It is my goal to give them the support they need and foster a love for learning. When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family (I have 6 kids!), traveling to the beach, reading, and cheering for my own kids in their sports. I can’t wait to grow more leaders here at Conway!

Hello! My name is Mrs. Brush!  This is my first year at Conway Elementary and my first year as an ESOL teacher! Before coming to Conway, I taught First Grade in Spotsylvania County for 15 years.  My passion is working with young students, early primary especially, as they learn and grow as readers, writers and thinkers. I have had the privilege to work with students from many learning backgrounds while in the classroom, and I am absolutely thrilled to be able to work closely with ELLs this year as they develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in English!  When I am not teaching, I can usually be found at Lake Anna, camping with family and friends, volunteering with the Fredericksburg Area Service League, or soaking in all of the wonders and excursions each season has to offer! I am very blessed to have most of my family close by and between spending time with them, and the activities of my 2 year old daughter and 17 year old stepdaughter, my days away from school stay pretty busy.  I am so happy I have found a new home as a Conway Cougar and can't wait to work with your Leaders this year!

Hello!  I am Mrs. Elchenko and this is my first year at Conway Elementary! I have been in the world of education for 22 years. I began as a classroom teacher at Grafton Village E.S. then went on to open a pre-k/kindergarten homeschool program in King George.  My last five years have been spent teaching ELL students at Rodney Thompson Middle School.  My passion is teaching kids and watching them grow in all of their academic skills.  I am in awe and amazement of our ELL students and their families and my goal each day is to instill in them a love for learning.  I have 5 children in all different schools around the county and an awesome husband who is a principal in the county.  I love to spend time with my family, hiking, reading, and going on road trip adventures.  I am so excited to be a Conway Cougar with you!

I am Bev Hughes (Ms. C) and I have been teaching at Conway for 14 years!   I was a 4th grade teacher for nine years and this is my fifth year as an ESOL teacher.  It is an honor to work with our students learning English as a second (sometimes third +) language.  Our ESOL students and their families truly inspire me with their determination and commitment to education.  I continue to be in awe of our student's progress as they master reading, writing, speaking and listening in English while maintaining their home language - just amazing!  When I am not teaching, I love to ride bikes, play disc golf, hike, read good books, walk my dogs and swim.  I have an amazing husband and three grown children.
