Hello Shaw Families! My name is Mrs. Fifer! I teach 3rd grade science and social studies!
A little about me! The 25/26 school year will be my 7th year at SLPS and my 5th at Shaw. Before coming to SLPS, I worked for Ritenour School District. I am married to my husband Steve, and together we have 3 teenagers. Two are in high school and your children will know all about them by the summer of '26. In my free time, I like to read, sew and spend time with my family. I am currently working on my masters.
This school year, your third-grader will learn all about the State of Missouri, write every day, and get more in-depth with science skills, stem and engineering. I teach in a variety of ways, my favorite being project-based. We will work hands-on in both science and Missouri history.
Please reach out if you ever have any questions about Shaw or your student! I am always available to help anyway that I can.
Mrs. Fifer
