My name is Stephanie Jeffords. I am a 4th-5th grade Montessori teacher.  I am beginning my sixth year at McLaurin. In the past, I worked at Lester Elementary School in the Autism Program as a Lead Therapist in Applied Behavior Therapy. I enjoy teaching Montessori because it allows me to meet the students where they are academically and I am able 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 second year working at McLaurin. She is excited about working in our classroom this year and getting to know the children.
