Meet the Kindergarten Teachers


Sarah Hofmeister

I graduated from Towson University with a degree in Early Childhood Education and received my Master's degree from Loyola University in Educational Technology. Before teaching Kindergarten, I taught 2nd grade. I have a daughter and two cats: Penelope Grace & Cami Mae, who I talk about A LOT. I also enjoy reading and traveling. Teaching has always been a calling for me. When I was younger, I loved school and hated being out sick. That love and passion has carried into my career and watching students grow and learn has been such a joy.

In 2009, I graduated from Towson University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and Special Education, and I began working toward my Reading Specialist degree soon after. I earned my Master’s Degree in 2011 while finishing my second year as a pre-kindergarten teacher. The following year, I joined Timonium Elementary School as a kindergarten teacher, where I’ve been ever since.

I’ve known from a young age that I wanted to be a teacher, and I truly love what I do. My goal each day is to inspire a love of learning in my students, just as many of my own teachers inspired me. When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy walking, lifting weights, and spending time with family and friends.

I was born in the Timonium area and am a true Baltimorean at heart. Crabs, crab cakes, Berger’s cookies, THB and Old Bay are my favorite staples (and of course Chick-Fil-A)! In May 2017, I graduated from Loyola University Maryland, earning my Undergraduate Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. In May 2022, I graduated from Towson University, earning my Master’s Degree in Special Education. When I am not teaching, I love adventures with family, exploring outdoors and traveling to new places. 
Growing up I always knew that I had a passion for working with younger children. I value the connections I have made with younger generations through ministry locally in Baltimore as well as abroad in Haiti and El Salvador. My greatest accomplishment comes from the classroom where I have had the opportunity to educate and encourage students while creating long lasting relationships beyond our halls. I am excited to continue my journey with this year’s class at TES.

I have been an additional adult with BCPS since 2006, working with teachers and administrators to help students succeed academically.  I have worked with students with a wide range of abilities.  I am pleased to be working with the Kindergarten team and look forward to helping students achieve their personal best.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children, baking, walking my dog, watching movies, and going to the gym.
