 🌟 Staff Spotlight Hello! I am Stacy Walker and this is my 8th year teaching at Sage Oak Charter School. I married my high school sweetheart shortly after high school and we have 3 kids. In my free time, when I am not being a taxi driver for all their activities, I enjoy scrapbooking, playing games, and watching game shows! A fun fact about me is that I have been on many game shows including America Says and Price is Right! |
