My name is Ashley Drury, and I teach 5th grade ELA/SS. Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. It wasn't until high school that I finally decided my career path. It was all thanks to my art teacher, who made her room warm and welcoming and always had a positive attitude. My goal as an educator is to do just that, ensure my room is always welcoming, inviting, and has a positive environment. This is my 2nd year at OBIS, but my 12th year in education. I look forward to building relationships with my students, and getting to know them. At OBIS we are Safe, Respectful, and Responsible.  We also know that Our best is Success. We are in for a rewarding year of growth and knowledge.
