I am so happy to be part of the amazing faculty and staff at St. Theresa School!

I enjoy helping my students learn how to communicate in another language, and understand the importance of being bilingual in today's society. I love to teach Spanish!

I was drawn to STS because of the joyful Catholic community. When I walked into the building, everyone was so kind and welcoming...I felt right at home! Some fun facts about me, I love to make homemade bagels -- My favorite is French Toast! I also love the outdoors and enjoy a good hike.

I'm most looking forward to working with my students! I hope that they will enjoy reading and writing as much as I do!

Intermediate Math Teacher

5th Grade Homeroom

Each classroom is a unique community of learners varying in abilities and learning style. My role as a Catholic educator is to develop this uniqueness and instill in each child a set of critical thinking skills and tools to become a life long learner in a challenging world, while promoting the development of the whole person with a distinct Catholic identity.

I am beyond excited to be part of the intermediate team at St. Theresa School! I chose to teach at STS because it is a great school that puts God first with everything they do.

I am a graduate of Marquette University, Milwaukee. I attended Catholic High School and elementary school. I have have two younger siblings, a brother & sister and a family dog. I enjoy running in my spare time and attending my sisters athletic games. I also enjoy cheering on the Marquette Golden Eagles and Chicago sport teams!

Miss Natalie Schneider

Laboratory Science, 1-5

We love Science! I am so excited to see what my students are capable of doing in science class! I'm a Carthage College alum with a degree in Biology. I've loved science and the outdoors for as long as I can remember. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, going on hikes, and being with my friends and my dog, Oliver. I can't wait to explore all the various aspects of our world with my students; from the deep oceans to the farthest stars, there is so much to learn, and I can't wait to get started!

Fun fact about me: I'm an STS graduate!
