Laryn Pinkston
1st Grade Teacher
Barry Elementary
My name is Laryn Pinkston and I am so excited for the upcoming school year! I started my teaching career at the Kirksville R-III School District in 2021. I graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with an M.S. in Early Childhood Education and am currently pursuing my Specialist degree. I believe that children learn best through engaging, authentic, and purposeful learning experiences. I strive to create a positive classroom environment that is inclusive of everyone who enters. In my free time, I love to run; I have run 6 half marathons and I would love to run a full marathon soon! I also have two dogs; a rescue named Marley and a labradoodle named Lily. I am looking forward to meeting you and learning more about you soon!
