Mrs. Mary Vance
Hi, My name is Mary Vance! I am McCurdy’s art teacher! This is my first year teaching art at McCurdy, and my 6th year in education. I hold a Studio Art degree from Maryville University, and I am currently working on my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Art Education. When I am not at school, I love to watch new movies, especially sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopian. I love to play volleyball and hang out with my fam. I also love doing anything outdoors in nature. I am excited to be at McCurdy and can’t wait to show off all of our Mustang’s artwork!

Ms. Johnna Connors
My name is Johnna Connors, and this is my fifth year as the librarian at McCurdy Elementary. I previously worked at Keeven Elementary in the Hazelwood School District for 18 years! I taught SSD, fifth grade, fourth grade, first grade, and was the librarian there as well. I graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and a Master’s in Reading with an emphasis on Behavior Disorders. Having 2 teenage boys is super fun and keeps me very busy! I enjoy spending time with them and our super cute Boston Terrier, Stella. I love reading and learning and can’t wait to get started with the school year!
