St. John’s Lutheran school and church has always been a huge part of my life. I was raised in this congregation and attended school here from Pre-K through 8th grade. I am very excited to be back now as the kindergarten teacher. This is a position I have always dreamed about and am thankful God led me to this opportunity. I have lived in Red Bud my whole life and got my Bachelors in Early Childhood in 2023. Since then I taught Pre-K at Freeburg in their public school system as well as one year with infants in the daycare here at St. John’s. I love spreading the word of God with children and hope to make them feel as loved and happy as I did when I attended here.
