Randolph Elementary School

We are excited to welcome art teacher, Ms. Ware, back to Randolph! Fun Facts: -She has been teaching for 34 years! (Randolph was the first school where she worked when she came to Goochland County in 2004.) -Her favorite style of art is Sashimono (a tradition of making furniture without nails or screws). -Ms. Ware absolutely loves the cityscapes of artist, Wayne Thiebaud. They make her laugh with their bright vivid color combinations, sweeping angles, and impossible perspectives. -Her hobbies include pottery (of course!), playing her ukulele, and building furniture. -Ms. Ware loves to build. She is a contractor and she designed and built her own home! She's also really skilled at power tools. So when things break, she knows how to fix them. We just know that our students are looking forward to art lessons with Ms. Ware! #weRrandolph

We are pleased to introduce our newest member to the Roadrunner family - music teacher, Ms. Oberacker! Fun Facts: -She goes by "Ms. O" -This is her first year teaching! She recently graduated from West Virginia University. -Ms. O loves to listen to opera (especially anything composed by Puccini), but she also enjoys pop music (Kelly Clarkson is a personal fave). -Her hobbies include singing (of course!), reading, and baking. -She recently moved to the area, so help her discover some of our amazing local coffee shops! -Ms. O has three pets: a cat (Fanny) and two pugs (Stella and Lola) We can't wait for our students to get to meet the delightful Ms. O! #weRrandolph
