Welcome to our new 4th grade teacher:
Aaron Loveless!
Aaron Loveless is committed to teaching the whole child and helping students grow academically as well as socially, emotionally, and spiritually. He also loves building relationships with students and families. He has a passion for teaching reading and enjoys helping students to find books that they will love. In his free time Aaron loves playing board games and doing pretty much anything athletic. He also enjoys spending time with his family in Milwaukee.

Aaron grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and attended Concordia-Chicago for Early Childhood education. He taught first grade at Saint Paul Lutheran in Saint Joseph, Missouri, for three years. He then taught first grade at Saint Peter’s Lutheran in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for a year and a half. From there he moved to Horicon, Wisconsin, to teach fourth grade at St. Stephen’s Lutheran for two years.
