My name is Debra Lester and this is my 9th year teaching at Troutman Elementary. I spent 5 years as a First grade teacher and this is my fourth year in the Science Lab. My husband, Pete, and I are the proud parents of two boys; Drew and Carson. I have a BS in Elementary Education and a M. Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. My family and I have called Troutman home for the past 12 years. I am the Autism Speaks' team captain for 'Team Troutman'.
