Mrs. Schaefer's Website

Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Catherine Schaefer and I am delighted to have the privilege of teaching in my home parish. My faith has led me to teach in a Catholic school where I can bring Jesus into our classroom each day. This year marks my 16^th year as a full-time teacher at St. Jude School. I am grateful to be a part of the spiritual and educational community at SJS. 

I have taught 3^rd grade, 5^th grade, Technology, and Kindergarten. thirteen of my sixteen years at St. Jude School have been spent teaching Kindergarten children.  After taking a break from teaching to raise my three children, I returned to St. Jude in 2014, working as an aide, technology teacher, and now a full-time Kindergarten teacher. I am also a proud staff member of our CARES program.  My educational background is a BA in Elementary Education from Holy Family University.

Who is Mrs. Schaefer? Well, my favorite color is black. I love to drink coffee and eat cookies. I have three children, Christopher (23), Ryleigh (12), and Reece (11), all attendees of St. Jude School. My husband, Kevin, is a proud graduate of SJS.  

I have coached St. Jude CYO Girls Basketball, Soccer, and Softball. 

I love to coach, teach children, and enjoy snuggle time with my family. I live in Hatfield with my children and husband Kevin.
