Ms. Stefano is a veteran of 28 years. She has served as teacher, instructional coach and vice principal. In all of her many jobs in education, teaching is the closest to her heart. She began her career as a teacher and will end her career as one. Children are what brings her the most joy in life. Her favorite quote is from Maya Angelou, "People may not remember what you said or what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel". Ms. Stefano works diligently to make all children feel valued and loved. When students feel valued and loved, they perform academically to the best of their ability. Chalmette Elementary has given her a great place to do what she does best!
