One God, One Faith, One School
 
 



First Grade with Ms. Sharon Kuchar

I have been a first grade teacher at IHM-St. Casimir School since 1990. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Central Michigan University and have continued my literacy training while receiving my advanced catechist certification from the Diocese of Lansing. I enjoy reading, walking, playing softball, and other outdoor recreation. I consider my vocation as a teacher a rewarding experience as I help shape a child's mind through a first grade education which includes a shared love of God and neighbor. It continues to be a pleasure serving this school community!

I believe education is a lifelong learning process involving the development of the whole person. Each student is a unique individual who has individual needs, abilities and goals. As a teacher, it is up to me to provide a variety of activities to accommodate common and personal needs in an effort to develop responsible citizens with a positive self worth and the skills to live and work with others.
