Mrs. McDowell
Hello! My name is Deborah McDowell and this is my 18th year as an educator. I love working and getting to know kids. I have taught first, third and fifth grade. I am so excited to be here at Stony Creek and can’t wait to start the year with your child. I am married and have 3 boys. Their ages are 17, 12 and 10 years old. All are actively involved in sports and keep us quite busy. I also enjoy cooking, baking, watching movies, the Colorado outdoors and spending time with family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to partnering with you to help make your child’s fourth grade year a great success!
