Hello!  My name is Stephanie VanSaders.  I graduated from Texas Tech University in 1993 with a degree in Elementary Education.  I taught in Garland and Allen ISD for 7 years before moving to Salt Lake City, Utah.  While there, I decided to be a mom and raise my 3 boys TJ, Zach, and Nick.  We moved to Murphy in 2007, and all of my boys attended Tibbals at one time or another.  Seven years ago, we adopted a rescue dog named Ralphie.  He is so cute!!  This is my 6th year teaching at Tibbals, and I love it!! I taught 3rd grade for 2 years, and 2nd grade for the past 3 years. I will teach 2nd grade again this year, and I am so excited for this year to begin! We are going to have a wonderful year!!
