🐝One of my favorite quotes is "Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world" from Maria Montessori. 🐝This school year I'm looking forward to getting to know the students, their interest, and building relationships with them. 🐝My favorite thing about working with students is seeing them achieve their goals. 🐝If I was not teaching, I would be working at a library or a museum.

"Though she be but little, she is fierce" 🐝 This school year I look forward to meeting the incredible students, staff, and community that make Stenwood such a special school! I cannot wait to create joyful & musical memories with my students. 🐝 My favorite aspect of working with children is the uniqueness of each day, filled with new experiences and lessons. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have had many amazing teachers and role models whom I still admire to this day, and I aspire to be them

🐝I’m looking forward to joining the Stenwood family! I’m excited to meet all the incredible students and can’t wait for the fun and learning 🐝 I believe children are capable of accomplishing incredible things! My favorite part of working with children is seeing a child accomplish a task or goal they have been working on! The pride and joy in one’s self is so inspiring! 🐝Traveling the world with my family!!

🐝I am looking forward to being a part of the Stenwood professional family as well as the Stenwood community family! 🐝 I love the positive, fresh energy that surrounds working with kids and their wonderful perspectives. 🐝 If I wasn't teaching I would be off digging in the garden or creating something artistic.

Welcome Ms. Higdon

🐝 1. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou 🐝 I look forward to teaching a new grade level this school year. 🐝 My favorite thing about working with children is helping them see their gifts and potential. I love celebrating the uniqueness of each individual. 🐝 If I weren’t teaching I would open a book store!

🐝One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day 🐝I believe that investing in our children's development from the earliest age is the single most important contribution we can make, and since I become a mother of 3 children I love to work with children to make them feel happy and save, watching them growing up 🐝I wish to every one a great new school year and I want to see all the student happy and success 🐝If I wasn't teaching, maybe I would continue my work at Reston Children Center
