Hello! My name is Carissa Schaef and I have been teaching since 2008.  I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education from Newman University and a Masters Degree in Adaptive Special Education from Wichita State University.  I have been married to my husband Cody since 2008 and have three wonderful children, Lily, Jocelyn, and Rowen.  I am from Argonia, Kansas originally and was taught by amazing teachers who always put their students first.  I love spending time outside with my husband and children and painting with friends. Family is very important to me and my goal in life is to always see the best in every situation!
