My name is Tammy Parker and I served as a classroom teacher for 13 years at New Salem Elementary. Prior to that I served as an assistant teacher and also a kindergarten daycare teacher for 16 years. 

It is with great excitement that I begin this new journey as the media specialist at New Salem.

I LOVE reading and embrace the adage that in order to be successful in any other area in life you must know how to read and interpret information.

It is my goal to build the love of reading in every child that passes through the doors of the media center at New Salem Elementary School. 

I frequently tell my students that although we may never be able to travel the world we can take many adventures through the pages of books.
