My name is Leslie Williams Paschal! This will be year seven and a half for me as a teacher in Harnett County Schools. Luckily, I have spent all my years in second grade and have to say it is the best grade! This is my second year at Boone Trail. I previously taught at Benhaven. I attended the “old” Boone Trail school growing up. My grandma (Dorothy “Dot” Thomas), mom (Gina Williams), and aunt (Marcia Dickens) have all been Boone Trail teachers. I am excited to carry on their legacy. I have a husband named Patrick who works for John Deere. We currently live in Sanford. We have two sweet dogs, Pearl and Lulu, and three awesome cats- Jojo, Minka, and Brother Boy. We also foster dogs for a local rescue. When I am not teaching, I love to hang out with my family and pets, watch TV, sing, and play the guitar. My husband plays the guitar, and I sing regularly for the congregation at Antioch Baptist Church. My passion is to help students learn and have fun while learning. We are going to have the best school year!
