My name is Ann Stimer, and I am a Montessori Kindergarten teacher in our elementary building. 

I grew up in Petoskey, MI, and after high school went to Western Michigan University for my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. While at WMU I met my husband Kurt, who was from Holland, and the rest is history… We have been married for 16 years and have two children that attend Black River.

I have been a part of our BR community as a parent, a substitute teacher, as well as in the Special Education department as a paraprofessional, before following my heart to kindergarten.

In my free time I love to go to music venues, be out on the water in our boat, and spend time with friends and family.
