Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Gary Stein to the Mountain View Elementary family as our new second grade teacher!
“My name is Gary Stein, and I am so happy to be joining the Mountain View Elementary family as a second-grade teacher!
I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and I have been teaching for 35 years. One thing I have learned over all those years is that a good teacher never stops learning. Every classroom, every child, and every year brings something new—and I look forward to learning alongside my students this year.
My husband and I just moved to the area in June, so we are still unpacking boxes and getting used to a very different kind of weather! We have already discovered how warm and welcoming the people here are, and everyone at Mountain View has been so kind and helpful. We feel very fortunate to be here.
Family is very important to me. We have two adult children. Our son is an Air Force pilot, and our daughter is an assistant principal at a school in Paris, France. Needless to say, there is always something interesting to talk about around our dinner table!
When I am not teaching, I love to sew, quilt, and cook. I also enjoy singing in my church choir and taking long drives to explore this beautiful state. I am looking forward to discovering many more of North Carolina’s wonderful places.
Most of all, I am excited about getting to know my second graders and their families. I am looking forward to a year filled with learning, laughter, curiosity, and lots of wonderful moments together.
I am so glad to be here at Mountain View!”
