News & Special Events
Prairie Elementary School Welcomes a new teacher
Hello! My name is Stephanie Lewis, and I am so excited to be the new teacher at the Prairie Elementary School.
The upcoming school year will be my sixth year as a classroom teacher. I have been the classroom teacher in 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades, and worked as an intervention/enrichment teacher with grades K-6. I have a passion for Project Based Learning and STEAM ( Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math).
I hold a B.A. in Elementary (K-8) Education from Boise State University, and also hold a specialized endorsement in Literacy and Highly Qualified Status in Government and Social Studies. I am currently working to earn my endorsement in Gifted and Talented Education.
My favorite thing about teaching is watching the spark when children are enthusiastic and curious about new knowledge and discovery.
I am Idaho born and raised, which makes teaching Idaho History very fun. My husband and I have two daughters. Jayden is a young adult: she is currently pursuing college and a career in theater. Lily will be a fifth grader here at Prairie School. As a family, we love hiking, camping, volleyball, soccer, reading and creating stories, family video game competitions, and playing with our pets.
I am looking forward to a great learning experience with your children and getting to know all the people who live in this lovely community.
