Hello! My name is Stephanie Padron and I'm happy to say that this is my
fifth year here at Waterbury School as a fourth grade teacher.
To prepare for my career as a teacher, I earned my Bachelor's Degree from
Illinois State University. I was lucky to complete my student teaching right
here at Waterbury in the fifth grade with Mrs. Lyn Ellis. After graduating,
I worked as a special education teacher aide at both Westfield Middle School
in Bloomingdale and Munhall Elementary School in St. Charles.
I am currently living in Bartlett with my mother and younger brother Jordan,
who is a seventh grader. My brother Michael is twenty-five years old and is
living in Hollywood, California pursuing a career in acting. I also have a
half-brother named JT who is almost two years old and twin half-brothers
named Luke and Blake that were born in May. At home, we are
all kept busy with our Chihuahua puppy, Coco. In my spare time, I enjoy
reading, scrapbooking, going to the movies, and spending time with my family.

My goal is to provide my fourth graders with a fun, safe, and educationally
challenging environment. My personal belief is that all students can reach
their individual potential by focusing on their strengths and
learning from their mistakes. I hope to share my passion for books and the
study of the world around us, creating in my students a love for reading and
an awareness of our local and global communities.
