I would like to introduce myself to you.  My name is: Stacy Jerrell.  I am originally from West Frankfort, Il.  I graduated from SIUC in Early Childhood Education.  I always knew I wanted to be a teacher at a very young age.  I truly feel I have the best job in the world!!    I live in Cobden, with my husband, Robert Jerrell, and my two sons.  Caleb is my oldest.  He is 7 years old and in 2^nd grade this year.  He loves to be outside and loves to go swimming. The baby of our family is Quinton.  He is 3 years old and he will be starting Pre-K this year in Mrs. Woodcock’s classroom.  Quinton loves to swim and play with his big brother.  He also loves to ride on Dad’s tractor.  This is my 7^th year teaching Pre-K for Goreville District 1.  I have also taught Pre-K with Southern 7 Head Start and Kid Academy (Private School) for many years. I feel so blessed and honored to be your child’s 1^st teacher.  I promise to care for your children like they are my own.  My goal is for each child to love school from the very beginning.  Here is a list of my favorite things. Maybe we will have something in common.
