Mrs. Seger
Hi! My name is Lauren Seger. I am a Primary Montessori teacher at McLaurin Elementary School, where I have been working since 2014. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from Francis Marion University in 2013. In 2014, I completed my training to be certified in Primary Montessori. In June of 2018, I married the man of my dreams and went from Ms. Balutis to Mrs. Seger! My husband and I are enjoying married life with our "fur babies" Jax and Sophie.
As a teacher, I have three main goals for the students that become a part of my classroom family. #1 - Each student knows that they are cared for, loved and respected as an individual. #2 - Each student is excited to come to school. I believe that when children are happy and engaged they are able to learn to their fullest potential. #3 - Each student leaves my class having grown academically and socially, with a sense of order and independence.
I come to school each day because I love what I do. It is a privilege to be a part of a future adult's foundation in life. Thank you for choosing F1S and McLaurin Elementary for your child! We are going to have a PAWSitively amazing year!

Hello, my name is Alane Price. I have been at McLaurin Elementary School since 2007 as a Primary Montessori assistant. In 2010, I became certified in Primary Montessori and in 2017 I was awarded the Support Staff of the Year award.
