MEET OUR NEW PRE-K, 2ND, & 3RD GRADE TEACHERS
We are happy to have Mrs. Kally Condello with us at St. Pius X / St. Leo School as one of our all day Pre-K teachers. Mrs. Condello has previous experience in early childhood education. She believes "the best part of teaching and learning can be providing the tools and waiting and seeing what the kids do with them".
My name is Miss McLeay and I was so excited to begin this school year! I graduated from Doane University last May with an elementary education degree and have enjoyed starting off this journey in 2nd grade. I believe all students should be given many different opportunities to learn and grow.
Hello! I am Monica Woods. I am teaching third grade. This is my 7th year teaching. I have taught previously in Omaha Public Schools and at Heartland Family Service. I am a St. Pius X / St. Leo School alum and am so excited to be back!
I am Katie Messerschmidt and this is my first year teaching. I have grown up attending private schools in Omaha for my entire educational career and feel incredibly blessed that God has placed me in 3rd grade at SPSL for my first teaching job.
