Hi! I'm Mrs. Stephens, a first grade teacher at John Nowlin Elementary. I actually attended John Nowlin Elementary as a student, when it first opened in 1979!
After graduating from Blue Springs High School, I went to Northwest Missouri State University where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (grades 1-8) and Early Childhood (pre-k - grade 3). I received my Master's degree from Webster University. I have taken an additional 40 hours so far through Baker University and Ottawa University.
The 2010-2011 school year marks my 18th year teaching. I have taught kindergarten, Title One Early Childhood, and have now happily landed in first grade!
I am looking forward to our adventure together this year!
