My name is Stephanie Jeffords. I am a 4th-5th grade Montessori teacher.  I am beginning my 5th year at McLaurin. In the past, I worked at Lester Elementary in the Autism Program as a Lead Therapist in Applied Behavior Therapy. I enjoy teaching Montessori because it allows me to meet the student where he/she is academically and I am allowed to teach the same students for more than one year. I am looking forward to many more years at McLaurin. 

Mrs. Merriman is our classroom assistant. This is her first year working at McLaurin. She is excited to work in our classroom this year and get to know the children.
