About Me

Hi! I am Stacey Johnson and I have the privilege of being a kindergarten teacher at Arroyo del Oso. I was very lucky to start my educational career at Arroyo del Oso in 2002. I began as an educational assistant and worked in both special and regular education. I began my college studies at NMSU and completed my bachelors degree in English with a Professional Writing concentration at UNM. Years later I decided I couldn't chose a better job than working with children and worked on getting my teaching certification through CNM. I have been working in kindergarten for 19 years and I have the best job in the world! I am looking forward to getting to know your student and your family.

I have four daughters, Taylor, Elizabeth Ryleigh, Scotland, and Brady
