Welcome To 4th Grade!

My name is Stephanie McDonald. I am the proud wife of a U.S. Soldier, and the mother of four amazing children. I am originally from Kansas, but have lived in many other places, to include Italy. I attended Fort Hays State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. This is my seventh year teaching at Benhaven Elementary and I am very blessed to be a part of the Benhaven Bulldogs. My overall goal this year is to provide your child the support needed to achieve success in the fourth grade. I understand the importance of family and look forward to getting to know yours!
