Meet Miss Stacie We are honored to welcome Miss Stacie to the Next Level family!
Miss Stacie holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from Kent State University and is PK–3 certified. She earned her Master of Arts in Education and K–12 Reading Endorsement from Muskingum University. She currently teaches 2nd grade at Indian Valley at Midvale Elementary and also instructs Early Childhood Education courses at Kent State Tuscarawas 
Miss Stacie is passionate about the science of reading and the proven power of repeated readings. Research shows that hearing the same story multiple times builds vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence — which is why Storytime with Miss Stacie will revisit favorite books and themes in a fun, pressure-free way that helps little readers thrive 
She is also a loving wife, mama of two, and an adoring grandma to her sweet granddaughter Leighton — bringing warmth, patience, and heart into everything she does
