Ballentine Elementary School

Holland Cheney

Mrs. Cheney is my daughter's third grade teacher. She is so wonderful with her students! The students in her class are so receptive to her teaching. She always makes the children in her class feel good about themselves with hugs and a warm smile. My daughter comes home happy to have spent her time in the classroom with Mrs. Cheney everyday. My daughter has a big smile on her face each school day. Holland Cheney has a wonderful personality that combines with her awesome teaching skills in the classroom. My daughter and her classmates will remember 3rd grade with fond memories of Mrs. Holland Cheney! Holland Cheney is one of the best teachers in the Wake County school system! We appreciate her so much for all that she does each school day for our children! Thank you so much Holland!

Dawn Harris

Dawn Harris is the happiest, most energetic teacher. My daughter loves her so much. Her kindergarten class is one big family that works together to succeed. My daughter has grown so much intellectually and emotionally because of Mrs. Harris. Mrs. Harris is a NC native who lives in Fuquay-Varina with her husband and dog, Picard. Mrs. Harris has taught Kindergarten for 25 years. She graduated from ECU with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She has been teaching at Ballentine for 3 yrs but also taught at Durant Rd. and Farmington Woods. We LOVE you Mrs Harris!
