ABOUT MRS. STAMBAUGH
 
 
 
 
   Welcome to 4S!  I have been at Tuckerton Elementary for sixteen years.  My husband and I graduated from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania.  I have also taught in Pennsylvania and Maryland.  I took time to raise and teach our three sons for a few years. We have three grandchildren! We have loved two special dogs over the years, Donner and Blitzen.   
   I encourage students to stick with their work and never give up. Even the smartest learners will have to learn to have GRIT to be successful. I love to get to know my students and I never give up on their ability to succeed!
