About Me
Hello! My name is Lydia Hindman. I am originally from Ft. Worth, Texas, but Prattville has been home for almost 30 years. I am married to Mark Hindman and have three sons, Caleb, Stephen and Daniel, who attended Autauga County schools. They are now an attorney, aerospace engineer in the U.S. Space Force and chemist! We also are also blessed to have 3 wonderful daughters-in-law and 5 grandchildren! This is my 21st year at Pine Level Elementary. Thank you for the privilege of teaching your child. I love teaching children to read and helping them learn to LOVE reading and learning! My hobbies include reading, baking, singing, playing the piano, and spending as much time as I can with my grandchildren!

Your child will bring books home several day a week. Please read the book with your child, write the book on the reading log and return the book inside the bag the next day. Reading to your child is very important. Your child will enjoy it and it will encourage him/her to want to become a reader!
