Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome to Mrs. Miller's Kindergarten!


This is my fourth year as a kindergarten teacher at St. Joe's.  As a parishioner and parent of three SJCS graduates, I love this community! 


I have Elementary and Special Education degrees from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Catholic education is important to me, as I am a proud product of Catholic Schools.


In my free time, I can be found on the soccer sidelines, behind a camera, or reading a book.

Summer Tutoring

In response to a couple of requests, I'm sharing the two SJCS teachers that I recommend for summer sessions. 30-45 minutes is an appropriate time for this age, depending on attention span.
