Hello there! I'm Mrs. Whitney Cummins. I'm an 11-year educator for District 8 and this is my fifth year teaching 4th grade at Meadowbrook. I hold a BA in Business Marketing & Administration and a Master's in Education. In my free time, my family and I love to travel to new places and play fixer-upper at home. I'm looking forward to having your child in my class!
