"They don't care what you know until they know that you care." -T. Roosevelt
A Moscow native, Kathy has taught elementary and secondary music for many years. She plays numerous instruments, is an Orff Level I specialist and has served as President-Elect for the Idaho Music Educators Association. Mrs. Stefani is the recipient of numerous grants, and she and her programs have been recognized by the Grammy Foundation. The love of music came late to Mrs. Stefani and her hope is to instill that love in her students early on.
Since working at McDonald Elementary School, Kathy has received the NFHS Music Teacher of the Year, Section 8, 2023, the Governor's Award in the Arts, 2022 and the Award of Excellence from the Idaho Music Educators Association, 2021, for her work as a member of the organization and as a music instructor in a small town.
