A few things about Mrs. Schifani...
I was born in Greenville, SC on August 3rd. I grew up in Collierville and came back to the school system that I loved after graduating from college. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Central Florida in 2010 with a degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for nine years, six of which have been in third-grade. I have a wonderful husband, two dogs, and a son named Nolan who will turn four in February. I love learning, and my passion is to pass on the love of learning to your child! We have a wonderful year ahead of us!

A few things about Mrs. Ladd….
I have been teaching thirty-six years, twenty-six of which have been at Tara Oaks. I was born and raised here in the Memphis area. I attended the University of Memphis and Nova Southeastern receiving a B.S. and M.A. degrees. I have also completed thirty hours over my Masters. I am married and have two grown children.
Teaching is a profession that I enjoy very much. It is satisfying to see the students grow and mature over the year. I believe all children can learn given the opportunity and the correct environment. My goal as a teacher is to provide an environment that enhances physical, emotional and academic growth. Every student in my class is valued as an individual with unique needs.

I’m excited to be your third-grade teacher this year! I am beginning my tenth-year teaching. I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MTSU in Early Childhood Education and Literacy. My husband and I lived in Smyrna, TN for several years until his job brought him to Memphis in 2018. We live in Collierville with our two sons, Billy (6) and Ryan (3). I love spending time with family and reading. I grew up in Joelton, TN, and visit my family there often. I am so excited to be a Tara Oaks Tiger! I know it will be an amazing year!

A few things about Mrs. Moore….
I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year! Let me tell you a little about myself: This is my 15th year to teach, I was a stay at home mom until my youngest went to school. This is my tenth year at Tara Oaks and my fifth year in 3rd grade. I have a Master’s in Education from the University of Memphis. I have been married for 31 years and we have three children. Hannah lives in Little Rock and is an OT at a school for special needs children. Our middle daughter, Haley, was married in January and lives in Mississippi. She is an OR nurse. Our youngest, Hudson, is a freshman at Mississippi State. We have two rescue dogs named Edgar and Helen. Edgar is elderly and Helen is a toddler so that makes life in our house interesting! I love teaching because I want to make an impact in each of my students' lives. I want them to remember something from their year with me whether it is knowledge or a funny thing that happened.
