Colleen Earner

My name is Ms. Earner. I teach Ascension P.E. as well as work in EDP. I’ve been teaching at Ascension for 23 years. I graduated from DePaul University. I come from a family of 12 children – 9 brothers and 2 sisters. When I’m not working at Ascension I like to spend time with my family, usually at a sports event or watching sports. Baseball (GO CUBS!) is my favorite season.

The Book Fair is Coming!!

The Book Fair will be held in the Ursuline Center Monday, March 18 - Thursday, March 21. Students will visit with their classes during scheduled times. There will also be an opportunity for EDP parents to visit after school hours on Tuesday, 3/19, when the book fair will stay open until 5PM. If you are able, please stop by to shop for your students and check out the classroom wishlists! C ash or checks made out to Anderson’s Book Co. will be accepted (No credit cards or checks made out to Ascension School will be accepted). All are welcome! Thank you for supporting the Ascension Library!
