Teaching Aide: Maureen Lampe

Service to the school seems so natural for Mrs. Lampe since she has been a life long parishioner here at St. Mary’s. She attended St. Mary’s School as a young child. She was married in St. Mary’s Church. Her youngest child is currently attending St. Mary’s School. Mrs. Lampe spends her morning as a teacher associate in our Pre-Kindergarten program.

She currently spends her afternoons as the fourth grade teacher associate. When she is not busy helping out at St. Mary’s she is busy with her own two children attending all their extracurricular activities here at St. Mary’s. Mrs. Lampe’s love for children is seen in her everyday interaction with all the children.

This truly is a family affair for the Lampe’s. Her husband Jerry is on the Board of Education and her mother, Mrs. Spain, comes in each week to read to our second and third graders. We are blessed to have such dedicated, supportive families here at St. Mary’s.
