2nd Grade / Meet Our Team

We would like to share some information about ourselves so you can get to know us a little better.

		Katie Ansell I graduated from Radford University in VA with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. Being a graduate of LCPS, I am honored to be returning as a teacher for both LCPS and the BeST school. A few of my hobbies that I enjoy in my spare time are playing and watching sports, traveling, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends. As this school year begins, I am looking forward to another amazing year at Belmont Station.

		Mandana Cantner I grew up in Maryland and received my Bachelor's from the University of Maryland. I moved to Virginia in 1996. I taught in private schools for 11 years. I have experience teaching fourth, second, and kindergarten. I completed my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education in 2008 from Old Dominion University. I live in Ashburn with my husband. I have three grown children and a new grandson. This is my sixth year at Belmont Station, and I’m very happy to be part of this wonderful second grade team.

		Heather DeVido I am grateful to be teaching second grade at Belmont Station. After graduating from Virginia Tech, I taught for several years in Fairfax and Loudoun County. I had the privilege of opening Sanders Corner Elementary. My career took a detour while I stayed home to raise my children. During that time I began various reading programs involving local children. Today I'm a long time resident of Belmont Greene. I am married to my highschool sweetheart from Oakton High and together we have four fabulous children: Hannah, Abby, Mary Kate and Cole. In my not so spare time, I love to catch up with friends, read, exercise, bike with my family, and cook. I'm thrilled to nurture my passion of teaching children.

		Keith Long This is my 9^th year teaching 2^nd grade in Loudoun County, and I am very excited to start my third year here at Belmont Station. I graduated from Shippensburg University with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and a Minor in Reading. I also have my Master's Degree in Special Education. I believe that each student is a unique individual with specific strengths and talents. It is my goal as a teacher to identify and foster those strengths while at the same time encouraging a love for learning. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies, creating art and traveling to new places.

		Caitrin McBride I am excited to be part of the 2^nd grade team here at Belmont Station. Before moving to Ashburn, I lived in a small town in northern Pennsylvania called Wellsboro. While growing up, I enjoyed hiking, playing sports, skiing, and taking care of my animals. One of my favorite things to do in my free time is travel. I have traveled as far south as Venezuela. I have a wonderful family who has always been very supportive. I graduated from Mansfield University with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education/Special Education. After graduation I taught 5^th grade in Pennsylvania. I am looking forward to another great year here at Belmont Station!
