Hello, my name is Mrs. Stevens!
I have been a 4th grade teacher at South Hamilton Elementary School for the past 25 years. I currently teach ELA, which includes reading, writing, spelling, and language arts. I'm excited to share that our district has just purchased a multi-million dollar reading program titled, "Open Court", that we will be navigating through this school year. I feel confident that the students will enjoy its contents and will appreciate the routine and structure of the weekly lessons.
Getting to know me personally...
I am a Chambersburg native and was born in 1973. I am currently married and have two children, Brooke (age 21) and Hunter (age 18). Both of my children are attending college, and I am officially an empty-nester! My daughter will be graduating from Duquesne University in the spring with a Bachelor's Degree in Education, and my son will be a freshman at Millersville University, where he will be playing baseball.
After high school, I attended college at both Hagerstown Jr. College and Towson University. I was fortunate enough to be recruited to play softball at both colleges. In 1996, I graduated from Towson with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. Over the years, I have taken various educational courses to obtain enough credits to earn my master's degree.
My Favorites!
In random order: teaching, traveling, softball, dark chocolate, family, dogs, the beach, working-out, the outdoors, kayaking, and hiking.
My Hope for All Students!
All students will:
- achieve their fullest potential academically
- feel appreciated for their uniqueness
- be respected
- feel apart of a classroom community
- love school and learning
- be kind and respect others
- always have a positive mindset about life
- find joy in reading and writing
