 Grade K5B - Louise Garrison/Lara Williams
I
love teaching Kindergarten at St. Anne School because of the
children. I look forward to getting up and coming to school each
morning. I do not know what my days would be like if they did not
involve children. Their smiling faces and gentle pokes (and
sometimes not so gentle) keep me smiling, too. I think
Kindergarten is a step to loving school. I have two goals for my
students – learn self-control and have such a good time that they can
hardly wait to get to first grade.

 Grade 1A - Leigh Walser/Kim Reiser
I

faith -- faith in God, themselves and others. By providing
students with high academic standards and faith, we can prepare them
for life.

my faith with my students.

 Grade 2A - Diane Hinton
What
I love most about teaching at St. Anne School is the community.
Parents, teachers and staff share a common intention, quality education
in a faith-filled atmosphere. As a product of twelve years of
Catholic schools, I want each and every child who walks through our
doors to have the same experience I had. I was well prepared for higher
education and my spirituality was nourished by those who lived the
faith. The St. Anne School Community works together to accomplish that.

teaching degree at Belmont Abbey College and has been teaching for 2
years. Mrs. Pellet is from Charlotte, North Carolina and loves to
work on her house when she is not busy creating her lessons and
teaching. Mrs. Pellett loves teaching third grade because every day is
different and 3rd grade students are so enthusiastic about
learning. She loves teaching at St. Anne School because the St.
Anne Community is welcoming and helpful. Her job is easier with
such great students and fellow faculty and staff.

 Grade 4A - Martha Gagnon
Teaching
religion has been good for me spiritually. I have grown in my
faith, and I love this environment. It is also nice to have
colleagues who help one another solve problems together. The
parents are very supportive of the teachers and quite involved in their
children’s education.

 Grade 4B - Jennifer Vawter
I
am originally from Indiana where I taught for 3 years, 2 years in a
Catholic school. My family and I moved to Rock Hill in
2002. I taught in a Charlotte public school for the last 3
years. This is my first year at St. Anne School, and I am so
excited to be back in Catholic Education. I love teaching
here. I have never felt such a family atmosphere in a
school. I have received help from the parents and staff in my
adjustment to a new school. Third grade is my favorite grade to
teach, because the students are learning independence and they love to
learn. My favorite part about teaching at St. Anne School is that
I get to teach children about God and how God is so important to a
child's success.

 Grade 5A - Mary Lollis
Each
day, teaching at St. Anne is truly a blessed experience. The
inviting community of St. Anne students, teachers, and parents fosters
a nurturing environment. Fifth grade students are extremely eager
to face new challenges and display their creativity through projects,
presentations and writing assignments.

 Grade 8 - Christina Judge
I
love teaching history to middle school students because they become
very intrigued by the larger world and have great curiosity about why
the world is the way it is today. I love teaching religion to
eighth grade students because they have a beautiful faith relationship
with God. It is a gift to be able to share that relationship with
them and to help them nurture it. I love working at St. Anne
Catholic School because there is such a strong sense of
community. We really see ourselves as part of a large family in
which we share good times and bad, smiles and tears, failures and
successes.

 6th & 8th English - Gretchen Gantzer
I love teaching English at St.
Anne School because God has provided me with a loving environment
to repay Him with my time and talent. My students return to me so
much dedication and energy that I feel privileged to be able to
encourage them to meet their potential in language arts.
|
 7th Math/Algebra - Lori Leslie
I
love teaching at St. Anne Catholic School because the students are a
joy. The classes are small enough to give each student individual
attention. It is a safe place to teach and to learn.

 Art - Pat Blaney Bright
I
love teaching art at St. Anne Catholic School because I enjoy seeing
the students grow in their artistic skills and expression. They
are so creative.
 Band - Hilary Yost
I enjoy teaching band at Saint Anne because the
students are so enthusiastic about what they are able to accomplish.
They enjoy coming together to make music and perform. I especially
love when they say "my friend (or my brother or sister) is in band and
we practiced together last night!”

 Computer - Julia Edwards
What
I love most about teaching at St. Anne Catholic School is that I get to
work with enthusiastic students. What teaching job could be better than
one that allows you the opportunity to share your love with those who
are willing and eager to learn! Teaching computers to St. Anne students
over the past five years has proven to be a wonderful endeavor.
|
Library - Gretchen Gantzer
Teaching
library skills at St. Anne School is a mission of love. The
support of the administration, faculty and parents make the success of
our library a continuing pleasure. Introducing students to books
and reading is a blessed vocation.
|
 Music - Kay Irmiter
I
love teaching Music at St. Anne Catholic School because everyday I have
the privilege of using my faith and my love of music to impact the
lives of children. What I love most about working at St. Anne
Catholic School is seeing the children succeed and grow from K-4's who
"experience" music into Middle Schoolers who perform music.
Watching a child learn to read music and then grow in confidence as
they become performers is very rewarding.
|
 Physical Ed - Byron Fridie
I love teaching physical education at St. Anne
Catholic School because of the warm, family-oriented atmosphere and the
feeling I get when the students come running to class and leaving with
a smile.
