Ms. Samantha Herbst

Hello! My name Samantha Herbst and I am proud to be part of the 5th grade staff here at Saint Bridget's Elementary! Placing students at the very center of learning and focusing on their needs is something in which I have a very strong belief. I also believe that relationships, respect and understanding are very important to develop in the classroom and that students learn by working with eachother, sharing their experiences and perspectives and problem solving together, with support and encougragement of course! One of my favorite things about teaching is watching as my students learn and unfold their potential. This is a rewarding time in a student's educational career! I also acknowledge and treasure the different types of intelligence my students posess. Click the link to learn more about Intelligence. I really enjoy my students here and I have been learning a lot as a new teacher after graduating from St. Mary's University in Winona three years ago. Outside of school I enjoy working with the confirmation class, walking, writing, and playing board games. I would love to chat with anyone who has questions or comments. Please feel free to contact me at sherbst@saintbridgets.com or (920)-555-1934.

Ms. Abby Lough  My name is Abby Lough and I teach 1st grade at Saint Bridget's Elementary. This is my seventh year of teaching and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I am a firm believer in allowing my students to be active in their learning process, which means the students are engaged in hands-on activities, experimenting, and movement. I use a variety of teaching methods in my classroom, in order to teach to all of my student's needs. I also try to incorporate the Spanish language in my lessons because I believe it is important to embrace my student's cultures and diversities. My main goal as a teacher is to create a comforting and positive learning environment so my student's are able to learn to the best of their ability. When I am not teaching, I enjoy baking, spending time with my family, swimming, and being outside. I am originally from South Saint Paul, Minnesota and ended up in Wabasha after graduating from Saint Mary's University in Winona. I enjoy the community and atmosphere of Wabasha and all it has to offer! If you have any questions or would like more information please feel free to contact me at alough@saintbridgets.com or call me at (920)-555-0648.

Ms. Megan McEnaney My name is Megan McEnaney and I teach 3rd grade at Saint Bridget's Elementary. I have been a teacher for eight years. I am proud to say that I have been teaching third grade at Saint Bridget's since its opening five years ago. The goal in my classroom is that every student feels welcome and comfortable to participate in all that we do. My objective is that every student is able to work in groups and on their own while they gain confidence in school and out. I enjoy giving my students the freedom to be creative in their work while allowing them to aid in the progression of the class. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember, so being able to see my students benefit from my dream and influence them in theirs is incredible. My students will tell you that I love hockey, country music, and traveling. For any more information please feel free to contact me at either mmcenaney@saintbridgets.com or (920)-555-7394.
