Meet Mrs. Kimball
Mrs. Stephanie Kimball will be teaching 6th grade science for the remainder of the school year! She is a graduate of The Ohio State University. Mrs. Kimball graduated in 2005 with two Bachelor Degrees in Education. After graduating, she took some time off to raise her children, Dominik (19), Kaitlyn (17), and Parker (15). Once Parker began Kindergarten, Mrs. Kimball began substitute teaching and continued on that path for 11 years. Now, she is finishing her Master’s degree in Middle Childhood Education at the Mount Vernon Nazarene University. In the summer, she enjoys spending time with her family on the lake and being outdoors. During the winter months, Mrs. Kimball enjoys snowboarding with her family at Snow Trails. In her time away from work and school, she enjoys watching her kids play football, basketball, cheer, and softball. She is looking forward to serving the Fredericktown community and school district!
Counselors' Corner
This week, all of our 7th graders received the Signs of Suicide Prevention Program (SOS). The SOS Program is a school-based suicide prevention program supported by SAMHSA. As the program concluded, the counseling department was able to successfully identify and triage all students who were in need of additional support.
