My name is Tracie Courcier. I have been a teacher with Des Moines Public Schools since 2001. I received my undergraduate degree from Simpson College and my Master’s in Special Education from Drake University. My husband, Cory and I have two children, Megyn and Ryan. I love to spend time with my family and friends, go to water parks, and make cookies with my kids at home.

My name is Mary Jeffries. I have been an associate with Des Moines Public Schools since 2007. My husband Rob and I have two sons Bobbie and Cody, a grandson Anthony, a granddaughter Meila, and two incredible future daughters-in-law. When I am not in school, I love being outside and spending time with friends and family.
