About the Teacher/Welcome Msg

Welcome to Mrs. Bland's Class!!!

Education: I am a product of DeSoto County Schools. I graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2011 with a Bachelor's degree in Paralegal Studies and a minor in History. I have my Masters of Arts in Teaching degree from Mississippi State University.

Bio: My name is Aleia Bland, and this is my eighth year to teach fifth grade. I love it so much! I am married to my best friend, Tyler. We have a 4 year old girl named Maybree and a 2 year old boy named Bryson. We also have two dogs, Molly and Boomer and a cat named Mr. C.. I love being outdoors and spending time with family and friends.

I want to make your child's year a successful one. I know that we will grow together. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns!
