ABOUT THE TEACHER

     Hello!  This is my fifth year teaching at St. Gerard Majella.  I am a 
native St. Louisan, and privileged to be teaching twelve years in Catholic 
Education with experience in grades K-3.  St. Justin Martyr is my home 
parish.  I come from a large family: 4 brothers and 3 sisters; and we all live
here in St. Louis!  What a blessing!  I enjoy spending time with my nieces and
nephews.  Two of our favorite places to go in St. Louis are Shaws' Garden and
Ted Drewes.  I am a graduate of California State University, San Marcos. 
Prior to teaching in the St. Louis Archdiocese,  I taught in the Diocese of
Orange, California.  Away we go, into Third Grade!

MISSION FOR THE CLASS

     Your child's Third Grade experience is a very important step in 
learning.  Your child will be taught in a classroom atmosphere built on 
mutual respect and responsibility.  Each child will be expected to work 
according to his or her own ability.  Working together as a united team of 
parent and teacher, I believe we can have each child continue his or her own 
relationship with Jesus Christ.  I know that through our efforts we can help 
each child develop a positive attitude toward education, and show learning 
as an ongoing process throughout their lives.
