My name is Rhonda Stovall, and I am the science enrichment lab instructor at Gateway MST Elementary. This year marks my twenty-fifth year teaching in St. Louis Public School District, and my nineteenth year teaching at Gateway, so needless to say, this is truly my home! During my tenure, I have taught grades fourth through sixth. As a science lab instructor, I have taught students in grades kindergarten through fifth, as well as cross-categorical classrooms. As an educator, I am honored and truly blessed to have received numerous awards and accolades for my educational practices and experience in both classroom instruction and in science. I am looking forward to an exciting year of teaching the principles of science and conducting investigations in three dimensions this academic school year. 

The pandemic has truly changed the way education is delivered to our students. From increasing the need for science education, to the creation of educational teaching philosophies that demand that equity is granted to every student. By working together as a community, each stakeholder can create a classroom community that is caring, structured, and allows each student to thrive both academically and socially. Thank you for all that you do as parents, and I look forward to working with you this academic school year!
