Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome to Mrs. Miller's Kindergarten!


This is my fourth year as a kindergarten teacher at St. Joe's.  As a parishioner and parent of three SJCS graduates, I love this community! 


I have Elementary and Special Education degrees from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Catholic education is important to me, as I am a proud product of Catholic Schools.


In my free time, I can be found on the soccer sidelines, behind a camera, or reading a book.

Last year at SJCS

Parents,
The staff updates email went out before I could tell my class the news!
After 10 years in Libertyville, I have chosen to empty nest back home in Omaha. My youngest is graduating from Carmel High School and will be heading to Oklahoma for college. With boys in Tennessee and Nebraska, I'm excited to be closer to family. 
I will miss this classroom, parish and families. I appreciate the love over the years!

Summer Tutoring

In response to a couple of requests, I'm sharing the two SJCS teachers that I recommend for summer sessions. 30-45 minutes is an appropriate time for this age, depending on attention span.
