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 16th 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 3rd grade, 5th grade, Technology, and Kindergarten fourteen of my seventeen 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 was also a proud staff member of our CARES program. My educational background is a BA in Elementary Education from Holy Family University.
I have coached St. Jude CYO Girls Basketball, Cheerleading, Soccer, and Softball.
I love to coach, teach children, and enjoy spending time with my family. I live in Hatfield with my children and husband Kevin.
