Hello. Welcome to first grade! My name is Savanna Orebaugh. I am 32 years old and have lived in Cave Spring, Georgia most of my life. I have been married for six years and we have two wonderful children, Elsa and Ford. I graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood. This is my fifth year at Cherokee and my forth year in first grade.

I am excited about this school year and I know we are going to have a blast! Please contact me at savanna.orebaugh@polk.k12.ga.us if you have any questions.

Philosophy Statement: I believe each and every child has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. I will help children to develop their potential by believing in them as capable individuals. I will assist children in discovering who they are, so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas. I have a vision of a world where people learn to respect, accept, and embrace the differences between us, as the core of what makes life so fascinating.
