Mrs. Armstrong
 Mrs. Kathy
Armstrong is the 4K teacher
here at SKDS. She has been teaching here
since 1990, which she said is, “A long time of learning!” Prior to her
years at St. Katharine Drexel School, Mrs. Armstrong taught for six
years at River Hills School in Iowa for physically and educationally
challenged children.
Mrs. Armstrong is also the Primary Campus Building Assistant. She
enjoys interacting with all the students at the Primary campus and
serving the families of those students. Mrs. Armstrong believes, “We
have awesome families at our school and the partnership in teaching the
children to grow spiritually, intellectually, psychologically,
physically and socially is a rewarding experience. Together we make our
school great!”
When asked why she
became a teacher, Mrs. Armstrong replied, “My grandmother was a
teacher. I was encouraged by her and by my other grandparents and
parents to follow my dream. I grew up with nine brothers and sisters,
so I was always teaching someone something and learning something, too. I love to spend time with children. You can learn the most interesting
things about life hanging out with a child -- no matter what age!”
Mrs. Armstrong
loves being a teacher. She said, “I love the students and the families
I have the opportunity to come in contact with. Each child that walks
into my classroom is a gift from God. Each child has something to offer
and share.”
Originally born and
raised in Iowa (“Go Hawkeyes!”), Mrs. Armstrong and her husband, Greg,
have four wonderful children, Grant, Collin, Klara and Caroline. A
long-time supporter of SKDS, she and Greg figured out that they have had one or more of their children enrolled at St.
Katharine Drexel School for 20 years (“YEAH!!!”).
In her spare time,
Mrs. Armstrong enjoys painting. She said, however, “Sorry, I am not for
hire to paint the outside of your home this summer! (smile)” Mrs.
Armstrong also enjoys reading, sewing and spending time with her
family. She loves going to all the events the children have.
Mrs. Armstrong’s
advice for her young students: “Love with all your heart. And READ! Have your family read to you every day and soon you will be
reading to your family.”
Mrs. Armstrong’s
favorite quotation: “Love one another as God has loved you.”
