Hello

Hopefully by now your child/children have told you that there is a substitute teacher for Mrs. Kruse. Hello, my name is Cory Wenthe, and I will be taking over for Mrs. Kruse until the end of the school year. Many of the students were already familiar with me as I have subbed here at St. Joe’s earlier in the school year. I have told the students that I will try to keep things similar to what Mrs. Kruse does, but somethings will be a little different.

 

I would also like to give you a little of my background in education.  I have 15 years of experience in education, 13 of which were in the Diocese of Des Moines as teacher and administrator. I look forward to a successful end of the school year. If you are to have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school and they can forward me the information.

 

In Christ’s Peace,

Cory Wenthe
