Mrs. Mayo was born in Baltimore, Maryland. As a family of four with one younger brother and two parents her childhood was fun. Some of Mrs. Mayo's hobbies as a child have not changed in adulthood. She was part of the 4H club, she played sports, and the piano, she was involved in a youth group, loved to read, loved to ride bikes, and loved to swim. As a child Mrs. Mayo didn't want to be a teacher. She wanted to be a broadcaster. Since her parents were teachers, when she was in college she decided to be a teacher. She also wanted to be a teacher because she loves working with children. Mrs. Mayo went to college at Towson University where she also got her teaching degree. Since college she has been teaching. Her favorite subject is reading because she loves to teach children how to read to succeed. The most shocking thing that ever happened to Mrs. Mayo is when the old Sparks School burned down and she had to start all over again. She is most proud of her own children and that she has been part of the Sparks community almost her whole life. One of the most fun places that Mrs. Mayo has ever been to is Nashville, Tennessee to the Grand Ole Opry.
