Hi I am Ms. Maddie and this will be my 3rd year teaching for Special school district. I am a resource K-2nd grade teacher here at Buder elementary. I have always wanted to be a special education teacher since I was young and I can proudly say I am living out my dream job. I love working with students on individualized goals specifically made for them, to help them reach their full potential!
Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, exploring new places and things, enjoy working out, coaching club volleyball, playing sand volleyball during the Summer, and spending time with friends and family.
I look forward to an amazing year of helping students reach their goals while also celebrating all the growth made along the way!

Hello! My name is Ms. Jones and I am a Speech and Language Therapist. I have been teaching in Ritenour for 20 years, 13 of which have been spent right here at Buder Elementary! I received both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree at Southeast Missouri State University in Communication Disorders.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to paint, decorate, and explore nature. I am a huge fan of animals and have two dogs and two cats. My favorite place to visit is South Carolina where you can find me sitting on the beach enjoying the ocean breeze!
I am very excited to start a new school year and look forward to working with my students and supporting their families. I believe every single child is special and I love helping them improve their overall communication skills!
