About Me

Welcome! My name is Lydia Hindman. I am originally from Ft. Worth, Texas, but Prattville has been home for 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 are also blessed to have 3 wonderful daughters-in-law and 5 grandchildren! This is my 22nd 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! Outside of the classroom I enjoy reading, baking, thrift store shopping, church activities and spending as much time as I can with my grandchildren!
