Special Educators
Mrs. Kelly Chapman
Teaching is rewarding and inspirational. I love watching kids' creativity and love for learning. I have been teaching for 10 years and every year is unique! I am blessed with a wonderful husband and adorable son! If I'm not in school, I'm by the water (pool, river, or shore)! Football is my favorite sport to watch!! FLY EAGLES FLY!

Mrs. Deborah Hubbert
I am excited to be returning to the school I consider "home". I am the third generation in my family to serve students at RSES; my grandmother taught 2nd grade here for many years and my mom, "Nurse Jane", was the school nurse for over 20 years. I attended RSES as a student and graduated from RSHS. I began teaching in 2003 and have taught in Baltimore County, at Elkton Middle, and Calvert Elementary. I live in Rising Sun with my husband and our 4 children. I enjoy reading and gardening, but my favorite thing is spending time at the beach with family and friends. I am looking forward to working with the staff, students, and families at RSES!

Mrs. Ceara Hudson
I am so happy to have been with the students, staff, and community at Rising Sun Elementary since 2020! I grew up going to school at Rising Sun Elementary, Middle, and High. I went to college at Towson University and began teaching in Cecil County after I graduated. It's a dream to be able to come back and teach in the environment that helped shape and teach me. In my free time I enjoy traveling with my husband, taking care of our dog Betty, spending time with our families, baking, and working on house projects.

I have been teaching for 24 years and I have been lucky enough to have spent all of those years at RSES.
I graduated from the University of Delaware with certifications to teach Elementary and Special Education. I earned my
Master's Degree from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland as a Reading Specialist.
I have three children that love sports and keep me very busy. In my free time, I love to scrapbook, watch Hallmark and cook.

Mrs. Bonnie Jo White
I am excited to begin another school year as the Special Education Building Coordinator at Rising Sun Elementary School. This
year marks my fifth year at Rising Sun Elementary, and I am grateful to spend it continuing to serve the students, families, and
staff of the Rising Sun community.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with students across elementary and middle school as both a special
education teacher and building coordinator. These experiences have strengthened my passion for collaborating with families
and school teams to create meaningful educational opportunities for every child.
I believe that strong partnerships between home and school are the foundation of student success. I look forward to working
together to ensure each student receives the support, encouragement, and individualized instruction they need to thrive.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, four children, and eleven grandchildren. I also love reading, boating
on the Chesapeake Bay, exploring small coastal towns, and finding time for creative projects and lifelong learning.
I am looking forward to another wonderful year at Rising Sun Elementary!
