As I begin my 9th year of teaching at St. Thomas I am reminded what a  privilege it is to be a part of Catholic Education.  After spending six years teaching fifth grade, I moved to 8th grade teaching English and Religion.  I am a product of 16 years of Catholic education, graduating from St. Norbert in 1986 with a degree in Elementary Education.  My first assignment was at St. Leonard School in Berwyn teaching first grade. My husband and I had our first child in 1990  and I stayed home to raise all of our children for the next 9  years.  I resumed teaching at St. Thomas and have been there since.  I received my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2006 fulfilling my dream to continue my education with graduate work.

 

My husband Tom and I have been married for 20 years.  We have three children.  James will be a senior at Marian High School.  We are searching out colleges for him  to attend next fall.  Emily is beginning her freshman year at Marian and is looking forward to her years there.  Peter is in 7th grade here at St. Thomas and is so happy that he will FINALLY receive the "family envelope".  All of our children have attended St. Thomas and have benefited from the tremendous gift of a Catholic education.
