We'd like to introduce you to Stacey Turner, our K/1 Principal at Clio Elementary this year. Although new to the role as principal, she is not new to our district. Mrs. Turner has held roles in Clio since 2011 as At-Risk Liaison, Teacher (mostly Kindergarten), Early Literacy Coach, and MTSS Coordinator. She already knows most students and staff here at Clio Elementary and had a wonderful first week getting to see so many smiling faces.
In her free time, Mrs. Turner enjoys camping, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and spending time with her family.
She is thrilled to be a part of CES and knows that “great things are going to happen in K/1 this year.” Her goals are to see students thrive both academically and socially/emotionally. Mrs. Turner looks forward to getting to know all her students and families here at Clio Elementary.

Next, we would like to welcome back Christine Lamb! Christine will be teaching kindergarten this year!
Christine was born and raised right here in Clio, Michigan, and graduated from Clio High School. She earned her bachelor's degree from Saginaw Valley State University and her master's degree from Marygrove College.
In her free time, Christine likes to read, float in the water at her cabin, and redecorate. Christine shared about her return to Clio: "I retired from teaching in Clio in 2024, after teaching 32 years, but was asked to join the Kindergarten team this year. I am honored to be at CES and can't wait to meet my new students." The theme in her class this year is "Be the Best You!" because, as she explained, "When we are at our best, we can achieve anything!"
Christine is looking forward to working with some gifted kindergarten teachers. She also finds it amazing that she gets to work with her daughter, Marisa Lamb, who serves as the At-Risk-Liaison, every day! Christine also added: "Clio has the best teachers, and I am so proud to be a Clio Alumni!"
