This will be Mrs. Kathy Evans’ fourth year teaching at SSJ.  She has been teaching a total of 10 years.  One of her funniest memories is:  “One day during a lesson, a number of students were saying, ‘but I…, but if…, but when…,’ - and finally I said, “There will be no ‘buts” in class today.”  Well, I had 30 students laughing so hard and saying ‘she said buts,’ that it was the end of our lesson.”

I have been a parishioner at Ss. Simon and Jude for 18 years.  I’ve been teaching Third Grade here for 5 years. Our son is a graduate of SSJ and our daughter is currently in 3rd Grade.

The thing I love about SSJ is the loving, caring, supportive community.  My students are wonderful children eager to learn.  Some of the awesome concepts covered in Third Grade include: cursive, multiplication, division, maps, our communities near and far, pumpkinology, Famous American Reports, Molly’s Pilgrim, The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever, Charlotte’s Web to just mention a few.

We also take field trips to Tolmachoff Farms and the Wild Life Zoo.

Our days go so fast because we have a lot of fun learning.
