Meet the New Buccaneers!
Ms. Putt ~ Library Media Instructional Assistant
Hello! My name is Alyssa Putt and I am immensely excited to work with the students and staff at Buckhorn Creek this year. I am a native North Carolinian and a graduate of NC State University. Before joining the Buckhorn Creek crew, I taught sixth grade English Language Arts in Durham for four years, and in the fall of 2018 I began working toward my Master’s in Library Science. I’m looking forward to assisting all Buccaneers as they navigate our media center and develop their information literacy skills.
I live in Durham with my dog, Kona, and a plethora of plants. When I’m not at school, I enjoy gardening, hiking, and of course reading.
