Hiya! I’m Elizabeth Bagnall! I love going to work every day excited to be a teacher here at Pelion Middle School where I have the opportunity to introduce your student to the world of language and literature. I graduated from Columbia College in 2013 with a major in English Education, and I am currently pursuing a Master's in Trauma-Informed Education I've been teaching since 2013, and started at Pelion Middle in 2018. This school is a part of an amazing community, and I’m thankful to have found a home here.
