My children have been blessed to attend St. Clement's Regional Catholic School for all of their pre-school and elementary years. Mrs. Stauffer has taught all of my children. Initially she taught 2nd grade but was changed to 4th this year. My boys had her first. It was evident when we first had her assigned to our oldest son, Cameron that Mrs. Stauffer was every bit of what she is rumored to be---an exceptional teacher with high expectations, but with enough love and guidance to allow any child to blossom to their own potential. Cameron needed extra coaching with becoming organized. Alec needed nothing extra, but excelled under her teaching. My daughters are twins and had her first for 2nd grade and we were excited to know that they would again have her this year for 4th grade. She is nurturing and feels like an extension of home. She gives the students loving stories that they come home and tell us. These stories clearly engage the children. Mrs. Stauffer's son is a famous baseball player---Timmy Stauffer. The kids love to hear what he is up to! She gave them all baseballs with his initials. Mrs. Stauffer personally selects a special book to give each student at Christmas. She obviously takes the time to listen to them and to get to know their personal likes and characteristics. Mrs. Stauffer always takes the extra time to speak with the parents to make sure that they are aware of any slight challenges that may be happening with your child. For instance, my daughter, Madeleine, seemed to add a vowel prior to the start of any new sentence when reading aloud but she noted that this was only when she was reading aloud to the entire class and that this didn't happen when she was alone with her. She brought this to our attention. Although it was a small little concern, she clearly takes the time needed to see these little tiny things in each child. She is warm, happy, uplifting and she is simply an amazing teacher!!! – a mom {jvotesystem poll=|9|}
