Hello! My name is Stephanie Rice! This is my 19th year teaching for Vancouver Public Schools; I was a first grade teacher for four years before spending the last 14 years in Kindergarten!

I'm grew up in the Yakima Valley on a family owned-and-run hop and apple farm. After meeting my husband, Eric, at Eastern Washington University (GO EAGS!) and graduating with a degree in education, we moved to Vancouver to begin our teaching careers. Eric teaches Art and AP Art History at Skyview High School. He coaches football and I coach the freshman cheerleaders! GO STORM! I recently completed my Masters Degree through EWU in Educational Leadership!

Eric and I have three beautiful babies! Riley Jo will be a 9th grader, Reghan Louise will be in 6th grade, and Parker Lewis will be in 3rd grade! We have three furry friends: Kitty Blitz, Kitty Jacques, and Rembrandt (Remy) the Yellow Lab!

I love white mochas, toffee chocolate, a good book, golfing, traveling, and cheering on the Mariners, EWU Eagles, and The Skyview Storm!

Hello, my name is AnnaBelle Grace! I am a senior at Washington State University Vancouver Campus, majoring in Elementary Education and getting my endorsement with ELL (English language learners)! This is my final student teaching placement, yay!

I grew up in a small town and tight-knit community, Carson, Washington. I moved to Vancouver in 2023 with my now fiancé, Christian, once I got accepted to the WSU program. Previously, I was a student at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon. Here I earned my associates degrees in Science, General Studies, and my transer degree.

I am a vet technician at East Padden Animal Hospital, and in my free time I love to read, rock climb, and bake! This next school year, I am very excited to get to know and have the opportunity to teach your kiddos, as well as graduating and getting married this Spring.

These are a few of my favorite things...
