My name is Lauren Sawyer, and I am proud to be a Manning Primary Monarch!!  I am from SC, received a Bachelor's Degree in Education from the University of Dayton, and my Masters in Education from Missouri Baptist University.  I am certified to teach Early Childhood, Early Childhood Special Education, and Elementary Education. This will be my seventh year at Manning Primary after four years at Kirkwood Early Childhood Center in Early Childhood Special Education. 

I have a true passion for working with our youngest learners!!  Helping each child progress in all areas of their development—academic, social, language, and motor—is a challenge that I am honored to accept daily.  I strive to create a community of learners that nurtures this growth in a positive, fun environment.
