Mrs. Stevenson

Hello and welcome to the 2023/2024 Westridge School year!  I am excited to begin this new adventure with you!  My name is Mrs. Stevenson, and I will be your 3rd grade teacher.  I have been teaching for 19 years.  I began teaching PE in grades K-8 and then went into the classroom where I have taught 3rd through 5th grade, including several years multi-age classrooms.  

I grew up in a small community in southwest Nebraska.  I moved to Alaska and lived there  for approximately 35 years before relocating to Colorado to be closer to family.  My incredible husband and I will be celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary this year!  We have 2 wonderful children and 6 fabulous grandchildren.  

I love spending time working in my yard, sitting on my patio with a book in hand, camping, or kayaking with family and friends.  My husband and I are constantly working on projects and love turning an old piece of furniture in something new and beautiful.  

Teaching is a passion of mine.  Seeing the light come on when a child realizes they understand something they have been struggling with is such a joy.  I recognize we all have different gifts and talents and try to support each child where they need it and tap into their strengths.  I am looking forward to a fun and exciting year!
