Welcome Mentone Elementary families! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie Martin and I will be the 4th Grade “Exploration Experience” ~ Expanded Learning  Opportunities Program (ELOP) Teacher! I am new to the Mentone Elementary School family and I look forward to seeing and getting to know all of you better. 

I am excited to share my love for learning and hands-on STEM with your kiddos! I have 19 years of teaching experience ranging from Pre-K to Middle School Science. I have also completed a 2 year STEM Teaching Fellowship and two Senior Fellowships at the University of Notre Dame. I believe in using a positive reinforcement system to promote a calm, effective and fun learning environment.

My husband and I have 2 sons in college at UCLA. I love baseball and football as well as Broadway musicals!  I have always loved building and making things, gardening, learning lines for plays, playing ball and singing with my boys and I look forward to sharing these types of enriching activities in an academic environment with the Mentone Elementary kiddos!
