New NEN music teacher Andrea Stafford said that she liked the change of pace that working at a small town school can bring. She was born and raised in Kansas City, where she went to Ruskin High School. She said that her biggest influence was her mother, who she said encouraged both her and her sister to go to college, supported her all the way, and even made a special trip to Ravenwood to check out her new school. Ms. Stafford got her degree at Northwest, where she majored in instrumental music education; teaching at Northeast Nodaway is her first job out of college. She said that her goal was for her students to learn about music and to have fun at the same time. In the long term, she said her goal was to build up the music program to the point where they could compete around the area.
