As a Peabody Elementary parent since 2015, I’m excited to present Peabody’s Teachers of the Month. In every issue, we’ll be highlighting educators that make our neighborhood school one of the best in the city.
If you’d like to support Peabody’s faculty, one way is by donating Box Tops; every Box Top equals cash that goes directly to teachers. The Cooper-Young Community Association office at 2298 Young is a great place to donate Box Tops for Peabody. Bring them by during normal business hours or leave them in the mailbox if no one’s in. We thank you in advance for your support of our terrific neighborhood school! — Amanda Yarbro-Dill
Catina Roberts
2nd Grade
Hello, hello, hello I’m Catina Roberts and I teach 2nd grade self-contained (all subjects)! I had a lengthy career in banking and finance, but was inspired by my daughters’ teachers to become an elementary teacher.
I attended THE University of Memphis for undergrad and will graduate May 4 (if the Grizzlies don’t make the playoffs) with a Masters in Curriculum Instruction Leadership with an emphasis in elementary mathematics. This program is the first of its kind due to partnership between Shelby County Schools and the U of M and only 20 teachers were accepted.
This is my fourth year teaching at Peabody Elementary. I taught at two other schools before finding comfort in the “eagle’s nest” here at Peabody.
