I am very excited about entering my tenth year of teaching! This is my sixth year at Midway, and I am so proud to be a Mustang. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with my degree in Early Childhood Education, and I graduated from Liberty University with my Master’s Degree in Educational Administration and Supervision. My husband and I are rather busy with our eight year-old daughter and are expecting our second child later this year.  We enjoy spending time with family and friends during the free time that we have. We also love to cheer on the Gamecocks during all sporting events, too. I look forward to a new year of learning and growing in 2nd grade!

Bonjour Mustang! I have been working at Midway Elementary since 2004. I first worked as a kindergarten assistant in a regular class, then in the French Immersion class. I completed my teaching certification through the PACE program and have been the 2nd grade French Immersion teacher since 2012. I am originally from France but I have been living in Lexington for many years now. I have two grown up children, Izlen and Celine. In my spare time I like to read and cook. My family and I also enjoy traveling. We have spent many summers abroad visiting family, discovering different regions of France and other European countries. I am looking forward to a great year!

Nicole Sanderson

Hello Mustangs! I am so excited to join the Midway family this year as I enter into my 16th year of teaching. I am from Wisconsin but have been living with my family in South Carolina going on four years now. I graduated from Alverno College in Milwaukee, WI with my post baccalaureate degree in Elementary and Middle Education. I have a Master's Degree in Professional Development from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse. I have a husband of 14 years and we have four children ages 13, 9, 7, and 5. When I am not teaching I am with my family! We like to take day trips to the beach and travel upstate to different locations to get a break from the heat. We have so enjoyed visiting the South Carolina state parks. Walking the trails and finding swimming beaches is our favorite thing to do there! When we are at home we enjoy being outside with the kids or getting some yard work done, watching movies, and watching our favorite sports teams- go Gamecocks, Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, and Milwaukee Bucks! I have spent 15 years teaching first grade and am so excited to be teaching second grade. I look forward to a fun, learning packed year with my second graders!
