Howdy, my name is Wendi Payne.

 This year will be my 25th year to teach third grade at Lawn.  Actually, I have been an Indian at heart since before I started Kindergarten.  My mother taught in the district for 42 years.  My husband, my daughter, my son, my daughter in-law, my brother, my sister-in-law, my five cousins, my future son-in-law and I all graduated from Jim Ned High.  Needless to say, I am a tad bit biased and very proud to be a Jim Ned Indian!

  After graduating from Jim Ned, I attended Texas Tech University and Hardin-Simmons University.  I graduated in 1998 with a BBS.  I am certified to teach Early Childhood, first through fifth grade general education and sixth through eighth grade reading.  I am currently responsible for teaching math.  I also spend a great deal of time focusing on student's ability to problem solve and make good choices.  I feel these are important life skills. 

  Every year is new and exciting.  Some curriculum requirements do stay the same from year to year.  However, each new class brings a new set of individuals with different strengths and needs.  Therefore, every year is a little different.

  Most of all I enjoy working with the children and being part of a terrific team.  It’s GREAT to be a Jim Ned Indian!!!
