Hi everyone! This is my 14th year of teaching in Marion Unit 2. This will be my 9th year of teaching Kindergarten at Lincoln Elementary. In addition to teaching Kindergarten, I previously taught in 1st, 2nd and 4th grade. I have been married to my husband, Matt, for 21 years, and we have two beautiful children, Brea and Zane. I can't wait to meet each and every one of you. We will have a wonderful year in Kindergarten!

I am so excited to meet each one of you and can't wait to see what this year has in store for us! #pinkstonpals

meet Mrs. Stanfill

Hello, Kindergarten families!! I am so excited to meet you! I'm looking forward to a great year in kindergarten no matter what the year throws at us. This is my 13th year teaching in Marion. I started my career at Lincoln School in 2008. I taught 2nd and 5th grade before transferring to Creal Springs for 9 years. Last year, I requested to come back to Lincoln and teach Kindergarten. I'm married to Chris and we have three awesome sons; Ethan (20), Luke (8) and Eli (3). We also have two dogs; Rosie and Sadie. I can't wait for our Kindergarten Adventure to begin!

meet Mrs. Tarlton

Hello! I am originally from Benton, but my husband and I moved to Marion 13 years ago and love it here! This is my 15th year teaching. I spent the first 7 years teaching junior high math, but my true love is kindergarten! I have 3 kids that all attend Lincoln, and my husband is a teacher at the high school. I am so excited about the new school year, but a little bit nervous as well (ok, maybe equal parts each ;)), but I cannot wait to meet all the new kindergarteners! This is going to be a learning year for all of us, but we are going to make it the best year possible!! #BetterTogether
