Third Grade

Hello! Welcome to third grade. My name is Cathy Bradshaw and I am excited to be at Pawnee this year! I came to Omaha from Colorado in 2012. During my 30+ years of teaching, I have taught grades Pre-K to 5th grade and special education.  As a lifelong learner, I am a graduate of the University of Colorado and UNO with a master degrees in Reading, Elementary Education and Special Education.  I am the proud mom of three grown daughters who all work in the medical field. At home I spend time with my dogs exploring the outdoors, taking dance and art classes, reading and traveling. Thank you for sharing your children with me each day!

Hello! My name is Stephanie Petak-Marco but I go by Mrs. Marco in the classroom. I have been teaching fourth grade at Pawnee since 2012, and this year I am teaching a Third/Fourth grade combo classroom. I subbed for 2 years in various classrooms K-6 prior to working at Pawnee and I started out as a paraprofessional for 3 years for fourth grade while attending UNO. I love watching my students learn and grow. I encourage students to collaborate with one another and to build unity in our classroom.

My husband's name is Frank. We have a wonderful, busy son named Dylan who is 6 and then our daughter, Makenzie, is 3. We are very active and always looking for fun and exciting events and activities to do. We also have two kitties named Sunkist and Murphy. I love to stay active myself by playing different sports and games of all kinds, particularly volleyball, yard games, and board games (which happens far less now that I chase around 2 active kiddos ). My family and friends are definitely a very important part of my life.

I am looking forward to a fantastic year! Go Cubs :)
