It’s clear this group will bring the energy, curiosity, and dedication that will make a meaningful impact on our students and school communities. The orientation created space to connect, collaborate, and begin building the foundation for a strong year ahead.

As they explored what it means to be part of SAU 58, our new team members began forming the relationships and shared vision that will carry us forward.

Here’s to a year full of growth, connection, and opportunity!

Dear Stark Village School Family and Friends, We have some exciting news to share with you — two new classroom teachers will be joining our school community this year! Kindergarten/First Grade We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Ann Auger as our new Kindergarten/First Grade teacher. Ann comes to us with nearly two decades of experience in early childhood education and a heart for helping young learners thrive. She holds a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and is certified to teach through third grade. Throughout her career, Ann has worn many hats—classroom teacher, program leader, mentor, and community connector—but her passion has always remained the same: creating joyful, meaningful learning experiences for children and families. Her teaching is rooted in place-based learning, where curiosity, creativity, and connection to the natural world guide each day. Her classroom is a caring, calm space where students learn to navigate big feelings, solve problems together, and build a strong sense of community. 4th-6th Grade In the 4/5/6 classroom, we are excited to welcome Mrs. Helen Martin back to our school. Many of you will remember Helen from her time as a long-term substitute in our K/1 classroom. She holds a B.A. from Vermont College of Norwich University, with a concentration in Children’s Literature. Helen has been a longtime teacher at Groveton Elementary School, Lunenburg Public Schools, and Mt. Royal Academy North. Since her initial retirement, she has continued to support schools as a long-term substitute in both SAU 58 and the Kingdom East School District. When she’s not teaching, she enjoys reading, cooking, and simply spending time in nature. We are thrilled to welcome Ann and Helen to the Stark Village School team. They bring with them a wealth of experience, creativity, and a deep commitment to education. With strong roots in the North Country, both are dedicated to supporting the children and families who make our community so special. Please join us in giving Mrs. Auger and Mrs. Martin a warm Stark Village School welcome!
