Mrs. Stephen's Class

Hello and welcome! I am so excited to be your child's preschool teacher this year!

My name is Haillie Stephens, and I am a graduate of Converse University. This is my fifth year at Sugar Ridge Elementary, and I truly love helping our youngest learners grow. I believe children learn best when they are engaged, having fun, and excited to come to school each day. In our classroom, you can expect lots of learning through play, music, movement, and hands-on activities as we build important skills together.

I can't wait to get to know you and your child and partner with your family throughout the school year. We are going to have an amazing year filled with learning, laughter, and wonderful memories. I look forward to meeting everyone soon!

Hi! My name is Jacie Smith, and I am so excited to be a part of your child's school year! I graduated from Spartanburg Methodist College, where I played softball all four years while earning my degree. My time as a student-athlete taught me the value of patience, teamwork, and encouraging others, qualities I will bring into the classroom every day.

When I'm not at school, I love spending time with my husband, family, and friends. In my free time, you'll usually find me thrifting or working on fun DIY projects. I enjoy making memories, staying active, and bringing creativity into everything I do.

I am looking forward to an amazing school year full of learning, laughter, and making wonderful memories together!
