Meet Mrs. Allsbury

Mrs. Allsbury is one of our 5th grade teachers at Lake Contrary. She is well respected for her experience, can do attitude and for having excellent expectations for her students.

Mrs. Allsbury was born in Maryville, Missouri and actually lived on the Northwest Missouri State University Campus until 2nd grade because her dad was the college dairy farmer. Her mother taught school for 34 years, most of which were in a Title I school in St. Joseph, Missouri.

She currently has two sisters that are teachers, her mother, grandmother, aunts, uncle, great uncle, and cousins have all been teachers. Her Great Uncle was a college professor at Graceland University. Mrs. Allsbury's older sister Sharon played so much school her that Mrs. Allsbury could actually read before kindergarten!

After 2nd grade Mrs. Allsbury moved to St. Joseph where she attended Bliss Jr. High and Central High School. She graduated from MWSU with a degree in Elementary Education and an emphasis in math.

Mrs. Allsbury has been married for 26 years, has 2 children, 4 grandchildren and a spoiled dog! Her hobbies include reading, crochet, yard work, and walking her dog. She has been on two mission trips, one to an Indian reservation in Mission, SD (the 2nd poorest county in the United States) and the other in Guadalupe, MX to help build an orphanage. She loves to travel and has been to most of the continental 48 states! Someday she would like to travel and tour lighthouses.
