Ms. Stitts
My name is Ms. Stitts. Originally from Tennessee but spending most of my years in Illinois. This year marks the beginning of my journey in this rewarding field, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. With an associate in art for elementary education, I’m passionate about incorporating creativity into learning. Whether it’s through finger painting or storytelling, I believe in engaging children’s imaginations to foster their love for learning. In my downtime, you can find me indulging in my favorite dish, chicken alfredo. On weekends, I enjoy a trip to the movies or simply relaxing at home with a good book. Speaking of books, two of my favorites growing up were “Rainbow Fish” and “Bad Case of the Stripes” – I just couldn’t pick between them! I’m beyond excited to get to know my students and co-teachers this year. Together, let’s create a supportive and enriching environment where every child can thrive.
