My name is Ms. Stephanie Shire, and I will be your ELA and Social Studies teacher for the upcoming school year. This will be my fifteenth year teaching in the Delaware Valley School District; I have spent half of my years at DV teaching 6th grade Reading/Language Arts, but I am thrilled to be entering into my seventh year teaching 5th grade here at Shohola Elementary! Prior to teaching at Delaware Valley, I taught for four years in Virginia.
