Hi, I'm Mrs. Darnell.  I have been teaching in Kalamazoo for 24 years--this is the beginning of my twelfth year in kindergarten!  I have my Master's degree from Western Michigan University and my Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University .  I recently earned my Certificate in Educational Technology from MSU.


About Mrs. Stoll

My name is Sarah Stoll and I will be your child’s teacher this year. I am excited to welcome you to a great year in kindergarten! This will be my 12th year of teaching grades K-2 in the Detroit and Kalamazoo Public School systems. I am very excited to be back at Indian Prairie this year!

I have a B.A. in Elementary Education and an M.A. in Early Childhood Education from Western Michigan University. I live on the west side of Kalamazoo with my husband, two sons, and guinea pig! In addition to me, your child may interact in the classroom with pre-service education students from Western Michigan University as well as parent volunteers and other community members.

I am looking forward to a great year!
