About Mrs. Vetter

My name is Lora Vetter, and this is teaching year number 34 for me. My whole teaching career has been at Christiana Elementary. I taught special education for my first 8 years, and I have spent the last 25 years working with fabulous third graders.

I grew up in East Tennessee and graduated from Rockwood High School and Roane State Community College in Roane County. I finished my education at MTSU with bachelor's degrees in psychology, special education, and elementary education. I received my master's degree in reading from MTSU, as well.

I have been married to my husband, Barry, for 34 years. He currently is a sports psychology teacher and head baseball coach at Blackman High School. We have 2 super sweet daughters: Holly is 28 years old, works as in admissions at Cleveland State Community College in Cleveland, TN, and has been happily married since September 2019 to a wonderful man named Logan. Kenzi just turned 23, is beginning her first year as a middle school teacher in Lebanon, TN, and recently got married to a fantastic man named Wesley.

I love, love, love watching sports and taking pictures of my family. Traveling to Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando are #1 and #2 on my list of favorite places to go, but I also enjoy trips to the beach, Vegas, and back home to East Tennessee. While at home, I love binge watching superhero movies on Netflix, relaxing on the back porch swing, and reading detective books. Some of my favorite things include the colors green and orange, frogs, Diet Mountain Dew, chocolate cashews, eating at Cheddars and Buffalo Wild Wings, and shopping at Amazon.

Aside from spending time with my family, I cannot think of anywhere else I'd rather be than in my classroom with my students. I would say that is why I haven't retired yet.
