Stephanie Thompson, Principal 267-4100 Ext. 4090

 I am Stephanie B. Thompson, principal of Family and Children’s Educational Services (F.A.C.E.S.) and Leaps and Bounds Preschool Program. This is my sixteenth year in education, all of which have been with the Glynn County School System.  I began my teaching career in pre-kindergarten at the F.A.C.E.S. Pre-Kindergarten Center.  I am thrilled to be back in pre-kindergarten making a difference with our eager early learners. 

I was born in Brunswick, Georgia and attended the following Glynn County Schools:  Goodyear Elementary, Ballard Elementary, Glyndale Elementary, Jane Macon Middle School and Brunswick High School. 

At F.A.C.E.S. and Leaps and Bounds we believe in providing a positive and nurturing learning environment.  This will ensure that our students, families and community are successful.  I truly believe that ALL children can learn and it is up to ALL of us working together as a team to meet the needs of ALL children!

Billie Foulk, Parent Mentor 267-4100 Ext. 1134

Hi, everyone.  My name is Billie Foulk.  I am married, have four children, and one fur baby.  I love being the Special Education Parent Mentor for Glynn County Schools.  I enjoy helping families and promoting self-determination.  I have watched as my son, who has a disability and has been served by an IEP, has blossomed and I hope to help lots of other families watch their students blossom too...wherever, or however their petals may grow.  I am happy to provide encouragement, guidance, and support…and hope to bring a little sunshine along the way.  If I can be of any assistance to you or your child, please let me know.
