My name is Marilyn Stuit (pronounced Stite). I received my bachelor’s degree in teaching from the University of Northern Iowa and my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Kansas. This is my twenty-ninth year of teaching. My first 16 years of teaching were in the Nebraska and Kansas public school systems, where I taught grades 4 and 6. After that, I taught grades 3 and 4, Language Arts at a Catholic school in Lawrence, Kansas. For the past 6 years, I’ve enjoyed teaching my fifth grade students here at STM, a God-centered community in which I feel blessed to be a part.
