St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School

This is my seventh year teaching art at St. Thomas School. ( Previoulsy I taught at art at St. John Fisher School in Chicago and substituted at D200 schools.This year I’ll be teaching at both St. Thomas and St. Mary School. I'll be at STS four days a week, (every day except Wednesday) teaching 18 Art classes (K-8th). I am also overseeing the 7th & 8th grade Student Council again this year.
My family lives in rural Woodstock, where it seems all of the snow falls on my long driveway. ( I can't count how many times I couldn't even make it up the driveway when returning home from school) My oldest daughter Stephanie is a Senior at Woodstock North. My younger daughter is a Sophomore. Both play on the volleyball team.

Physical Education

I graduated from Valparaiso University with a B.S. in P.E. with a major in P.E. and a minor in biology. My first teaching job was at Oak Lawn Community High School. After marrying my husband, we moved to Texas and I taught biology in high school and then P.E. in middle school. While living in Texas, I also earned a Masters in Secondary Ed. from the University of North Texas. Our next move was to New Jersey where I taught P.E. in high school and coached. Our final move was back to the Chicago area to teach at Valley Lutheran High School. We have twin daughters as well as a daughter who just graduated from the University of Iowa. (Go Hawkeyes!) When our daughters were younger, I subbed in Dist. 300, taught biology at Jacobs High School, and became certified in K-12 P.E. This is my sixteenth year at St. Thomas.
