School Information

Hello Current and Future Wealthy Elementary Families!  

As the principal of Wealthy Elementary School, I am excited to be your partner in the academic, and social-emotional development of your child. Here at Wealthy Elementary, we believe that kindness is magic and we love being Wealthy Wizards! I am thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant learning community dedicated to nurturing the academic, social, and emotional growth of every student.  I strongly believe that young people are capable of greatness. When we support their passions, grow their knowledge, and invite their voice, we can make our world a better place. At Wealthy Elementary, we value inquiry, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking among our students. Our committed, compassionate staff is dedicated to supporting each child's journey, ensuring they reach their full potential in a safe and inclusive environment. Together, we foster a culture where kindness, respect, and academic excellence thrive. I invite you to explore our website to discover more about our programs, initiatives, and the many ways we empower our Wizards to succeed. Thank you for being a part of our community, where every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and shine bright.

My husband Mike and I are proud parents of our two children, Kai and Mila. I began my teaching career in Cobb County, Georgia but missed my family as well as the four seasons of Michigan. I grew up in the small town of Armada, known for Blake's Cider Miller and Achatz pies. I love to read, draw, and paint; enjoy traveling with my family; sometimes get lost in a well-written TV series; and try to spend lots of time outdoors either running or on a beach. 

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Warmly,

Stephanie
