Welcome to the Media Center
Hello! My name is Anna Rice, I am the Media Specialist. I am thankful and feel so blessed to be a part of the Barnardsville Elementary family! I am excited about the school year and continuing to learn more about how to help your child be a 21st Century Learner.
Let me tell you a little about myself; I live in Weaverville with my husband, dogs and chickens. I am from Weaverville, born and raised. I'm a mountain girl through and through. Although I have never lived in Barnardsville, I have enjoyed going to many events in the community such as fireworks, swimming, and visiting many of the churches.
I graduated from UNCA in May 2006 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a K-6 teaching certification. I taught second grade here at Barnardsville for five years. I graduated from Appalachain State University with a Masters Degree in Library Science in December 2012. I began my position as Media Specialist in August of 2011. I was honored to be Barnardsville Elementary teacher of the year in 2010 and 2017. I am dedicated to seeing that every child has the best experience possible in the Media Center.
