Hi, I am Lynne Sheetz. I am the first grade teacher here at St. James. I have been in education for 26 years. I taught 9 years in Cedar Rapids in either first or second grade. In 2004 I got married to Brad and moved to Washington where I got a job at St. James as the Kindergarten teacher. After 4 years I quit to stay home with the 2 kids I had and another on the way. Eight years later I accepted another position at St. James as the third grade teacher (yes, I AM a boomerang!) and here I am! I came back because the family atmosphere and the religion-based education is one you can't forget.
I grew up in Northeast Iowa on a dairy cow and farrow to finish hog farm. I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters. I have 29 nieces and nephews and currently 20 great nieces and nephews. And YES we all get together at least twice a year!
I have a 14 year old daughter, Jade who attends Washington Middle School, a 13 year old son, Blake who attends WMS and an 11 year old, Tate who is a 5th grader here at St. James.
My favorite things to do are: be outside, spend time with my family, camp and watch sports.
We will be reviewing for a math test today. Students will bring the review sheet home tonight. If you have time, you may want to look it over with them. Thank you for your help! Barb Matheson
