Hi everyone! My name is Mary Lanier Stepp, and I am SO excited to be back at Pelham Road this year! I am even more excited to be your child's teacher! We are going to have so much fun in Kindergarten!  

I moved to Greenville in high school and attended Eastside High. That is where I met and started dating my husband, Graham. Needless to say, we are  still big EHS Eagle fans! I then went to Clemson University and received my BA in Early Childhood Education. Go Tigers! I started my teaching career at Oakview Elementary School.  

Graham and I have three children, Wells, Ford, and Annie! This year we will have 3 in 3 schools, Eastside High School, Greenville Middle Academy, and one here at PRES! They keep us very busy! When I am not at school  you can find the Stepp crew on a baseball or softball field, cheering in Death Valley, or playing with our 4 legged friends Dolly and Ruby!  

As I mentioned earlier, I am over the moon about teaching your child! We are going to have a GREAT year!

Mrs. Cota is our classroom aide!  We are so lucky to have her with us this year!

A little about Mrs. Cota:

She is originally from California where she was also a Kindergarten aide.  She has been in Greenville for 6 years now.  She has been married to her husband, Dale, for 18 years.  They have 2 children, Dylan (16) and Makayla (15).  Mrs. Cota loves to go to the beach, kayak, watch football, garden, and spend time with her family! ❤️
