636-227-8654 ex.154My name is Jill Mueller and I love teaching! I have my Master’s degree in Elementary Education and I’m certified as a Reading Specialist K-12th grade. My husband and I have two kids, a high school sophomore and a college freshman, and a German Shepherd dog. In my free time I love to read mysteries, watch my daughter play basketball, bake, and ride my Peloton bike. I’m blessed to be a part of the St. Clare School community!
I am happy to be in my 19th year of teaching and have taught in both public and private Catholic schools. I earned my B.S. Degree at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pennsylvania, double majoring in Elementary Education and Psychology. I also have my Masters Degree in Reading Education from Towson University. I hold certifications to teach grades 1-6 Elementary Education and grades K-12 Reading Education. Most of my teaching career has been spent teaching 3rd grade. I love the blossoming independence that grows more and more each day throughout this very important transitional year from lower to upper elementary. Reading is my passion when it comes to educating students. If students cannot read, they will struggle in almost every other area in the classroom. My goal is to have children fall in love with reading during their year in third grade as they begin to make the transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn".

Hello, I am Nathan Muenks. After a career in the trades I heard the Lord's call to teach and help form the next generation. This is my second year teaching. I bring to the classroom a wide interest in all subjects, from Math and Science to Literature and Religion. I have a BA in Philosophy from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and an MA in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. My hobbies are woodworking, gardening, and theology.

Our role, as parents and educators, is to form students’ minds and souls to seek and know the truth and beauty of our Catholic faith tradition. My goal is to promote students’ lifelong faith formation, values, and spiritual development. I view each child as a gift with unique talents, interests and personal goals. I strive to foster a warm, welcoming classroom climate for the students and their families through open communication and positivity. My classroom promotes lifelong learning skills through formal and informal learning experiences. Every classroom experience is an opportunity for growth for the students, educators, and parents. I am excited that this is my 8th year of teaching. I have a BA in Sociology and a Master of Education from Boston College.
