                              Joining us this year is our new vice principal, Sandy Rhodes.  Ms. Rhodes was the former principal at Cave School, which closed in June.   She has been with the Vallejo School District for 32 years and is very happy to be joining the staff and families at Steffan Manor.   

                              Ms. Rhodes grew up in a large family in San Jose and graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.  From there she joined the Peace Corps and taught high school for two and a half years in Kenya.   When she returned, she was hired at Lincoln School here in Vallejo to teach a 4/5/6 combination.  She then went on to teach at Pennycook and Cave Schools.   Ms. Rhodes served as the vice principal of Glen Cove Elementary for 7 years and then returned to Cave to become the principal in 2004.  

                              Ms. Rhodes lives in Vallejo with her fifteen year old son who is in high school.  They enjoy cycling and took a bicycle safari through Ireland two summers ago.   She spends time hiking and biking at the Russian River area.

                              Ms. Rhodes wants to continue to help move Steffan Manor School forward on its journey to excellence.  Stop by and say “Hello.”
