Hi Friends! 

My name is Alyssa Sorensen and I am so excited to be teaching kindergarten at Sweeny Elementary! I grew up in the small town of Crocker, MO and moved to Springfield to work towards my dream job of becoming a teacher! In 2017, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Missouri State University and in 2020, I received my Master's Degree in Literacy.  I have taught kindergarten for 5 years now and have loved every second of it. This will be my first year in the Republic School District and I am so excited for the fun we will have. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exercising, and spending time with my friends, family, and my 2 dogs (Archer & Bella). 

Let's Go Tigers!
