About The Teacher
I am a Central Michigan University graduate (Fire up, Chips!) where I earned my bachelor's degree in Education as well as one in Social Sciences. My minor was Language Arts. I later got my master's degree from Marygrove College. In January of 2010, I will continue my education by taking Spanish at Baker College. The first nine years of my teaching career, I was blessed to teach 5th and 6th grade for Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools in Flint. Last year I was honored to join the staff of St. Paul School. The move to SPS within my church community and where my children go to school (or will in the future) has proven to be an answer to prayer, and I am truly thrilled to get another year underway! When I am not at school I enjoy being home with my family. My husband, Brent, and I have four children--Madeleine is in third grade at St. Paul, Katharine is now in Kindergarten here as well, and our twins, Evelyn and Benjamin, are now four years old. I had a wonderful summer reading, playing with my children, and getting away for a few vacations including some camping up north, a trip to the Toledo Zoo, a couple of days at Cedar Point/Soak City, and my favorite, a Tigers game. I love being an active member of St. Paul Church and have a passion for the Catholic faith. My first year here at St. Paul was wonderful, and I look forward to working with you this year. Please keep our class and St. Paul School in your prayers as we start this new year! Also, let us spend extra time praying for our priests, Fr. Fain and Fr. Nonatus, in this year which has been declared the Year for Priests. God bless, Mrs. Smith

Mission Label:


Mission
My philosophy on Catholic education is based on my belief that with God in our lives, all things are possible. As a teacher in a Catholic school, it is my job to create an environment in which all children are challenged and guided to meet the potential God has given them. This means providing a Christ-centered classroom built on mutual respect, open communication and common goals. And with God's help, I will instill in my students, a lifelong love for learning.
