Summary
My wife, Jennifer and I have been married for 24 years and we have 3 kids. Stevi is the oldest and she is a senior at Oklahoma State University, Jagger is our middle child and he is a freshman at NEO where he wrestles and Seger Jo is the baby and she is a 1st grader at Homer Elementary. Jennifer has a degree in Early Childhood Education but has yet to use it. She has ran our family owned grocery store for over 20 years. We live in a small community and Jennifer has went over and above to make sure everyone in our small town that needs help, has it. We have been in the Allen/Ada area all of our lives and we are ready to take on a new challenge in a different place. We have family that live in the Grove area and we have been looking to move that way for the last couple of years. We are excited for an opportunity to be a part of a new community and school family to provide leadership for kids and give them an opportunity to be successful as well as being a part of a great community like Grove. I appreciate you taking us into consideration for your position and look forward to visiting with you.
Thanks again,
Stephen Caldwell
