Prince of Peace School

Hello, my name is Devon Schoumacher.  This is my 7th year teaching at Prince of Peace School.  I attended Midway College in Midway Kentucky and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I taught 3rd grade my first year and then for two years I taught Kindergarten in the morning and 3rd & 4th in the afternoon.  We decided to go to full day Kindergarten and I have been teaching that class for 4 years now.  

I am married to my wonderful husband, Chip, for four years now.  We have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old daughter named Kendall. I enjoy spending time with my family (we are at my parents' or my husbands parents' house just about every weekend), playing soccer and basketball, and of course shopping!

Hi!  My name is Kate Young.  I have my Master's in Education from Xavier University.  This is my first year at Prince of Peace.  I previously taught at Montessori School of Louisville and Ursuline Montessori School in Louisville, Kentucky. 

I am happy to be co-teaching in the Montessori I classroom.  I teach Botany, Zoology, Handwriting, Reading, Grammar, and Technology to the first, second, and third grade students. 

My hobbies include reading and walking my dogs.

Hello! 

I am Ms. DeLay and one of the teachers in the Montessori I classroom.  This is my first year at Prince of Peace and I am enjoying it immensely.  I graduated in May of 2007 with my Masters degree in Montessori education.  I have spent two years prior as an assistant in both a 3-6 classroom and a 6-9 classroom.

I have many hobbies, most of which involve being outside.  I love to walk my two dogs and run outside.  I also enjoy practicing yoga.  I love to cook, though I don't always have the time to do it! 

Prince of Peace has been a great school for me to begin my full time teaching career.  The administration, parents, students and my fellow teachers have been extremely supportive and cooperative.

Dear Parents and Families,

This week has been a productive week for the children, as they have focused their energies on getting assignments completed.  The children, though excited for spring and summer, have been able to focus on their work and are excited about what they are learning.  We have begun to really dive into our Australia studies, the Timeline of Life and invertebrates.  It will be a busy, yet exciting finish to the year!

The children will be receiving their project assignments for Australia this Friday.  They will be due Thursday, Mary 22 and we will be presenting May 22, May 27 and May 28.  We will provide more information about that as the end of the year draws closer, including presentation times for each child and about the feast at the end of the year.

Tomorrow (with weather permitting!) we will be building our compost bin for the school.  This is our service learning project as we build environmental awareness for our school and our surrounding community.  Please ask your children all about it!  A big thank you to Renee Jeffreys, Damian Sells and Stan Obert for supporting us through this process and leading the children through the building of the bin!

There will be spelling tests tomorrow and homework is due.

Please remember that the third grade field trip is May 19 and we will be going to Big  Bone  State Park.

We are going to see “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” at the Children’s Theater on Friday.  Please check with your child for the permission slip that went home with them yesterday.

This week, we have Amy Frohlich coming in for both spelling tests tomorrow and tech center on Tuesday and Renee Jeffreys coming in for homework folders on Friday.  

Thanks and have a great week!

Beth and Katie
