Out of this World Staff
2nd and 3rd grades are special years where students are no longer considered the "little kids," but are still the youngest of the "big kids." 2nd and 3rd grades teachers know how to put the final touches on the important foundational skills of learning, while also opening the door to critical thinking and problem solving. Our 2nd and 3rd grade staff do a great job of getting these kiddos ready to own their role as a student, taking responsibility and setting them up for success before they move into their last 2 years of elementary world. We are so thankful for these amazing teachers!
2nd grade teachers: Angel Leigh, Noel Hill, Sabrina Amann, Leah Mills, Kim Gue, Maureen Winkler, Melissa Sastoque and Chris Dove
3rd grade teachers: Kristina Troutman, Holly Mabe, Tina Tate, Laura Coger, Nicole Connelly, Shelley Wockenfuss, Pam Seaford and Jacqueline Reynolds
