About Me

     My name is Brittany Gelchion (which is very new to me as I just got 
married in July), and I am so excited to be joining the St. Joseph Grade 
School community this year!  I earned both my Bachelor’s Degree in Political 
Science and Sociology and my Master’s Degree in Education at the University 
of Notre Dame.  I have just moved back to South Bend after two years of 
teaching fourth grade in the Tampa Bay area through the Alliance for Catholic 
Education (we’ll see how I readjust to the winter here in the coming months!).
     I love to teach and to share our Catholic faith with young people, and I 
am looking forward to a productive and enjoyable year for all of us.  I have 
high expectations for all my students and am very willing and eager to work 
with them to ensure that our goals of learning, loving and growing together 
are met, and I thank you for your support and assistance.  I feel extremely 
blessed to be here at St. Joe and to share in this momentous year with you 
and your child.  Thank you so much!  
     If at any time you have any questions or concerns, or if there is 
anything I can do to better support your child’s learning and development, 
please feel free to contact me via email at gelchion@stjosephgradeschool.org 
or call the school phone at (574) 234-0451.  Thanks again for your 
cooperation, support and enthusiasm to begin our school year together!  

Mission For The Class

To love and serve the Lord and one another as we develop a greater 
understanding and appreciation of God's perpetual gift of self through the 
saving mysteries of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection; through the grace 
of the Sacraments; and through the guidance of the Church on earth throughout 
history.
