Hi!
My name is Laura Barksdale and I am the Pre-K teacher for our SPROUTS program. This is my eighth year teaching in Pelham City Schools, and I am so happy to be a part of the Pelham Oaks family! I received my bachelor’s degree in Collaborative Education from Birmingham-Southern College in 2013, and I earned my master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2015. I proudly consider myself a lifelong learner, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to grow alongside brilliant colleagues and beautiful young minds every single day.

When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband and I got married in 2017, and we have two daughters, Anderson and Victoria. We also have a golden retriever, Hank (he was our first child). He's the size of a small polar bear. I love traveling, both in the U.S. and internationally, camping, sailing, and reading. I love pepperoni pizza and I always have mountain dew in my refrigerator!
