Welcome our new 3rd grade teacher!

We are so excited to introduce our new 3rd-grade teacher to you—Ms. Carrie Walsh! We can’t wait for you to meet her in person. For now, here is a brief introduction by Ms. Walsh herself:

“I am beyond excited to be at Grace Lutheran School as a third-grade teacher. I have over 20 years of experience in education, including serving as a K, 1st, and 2nd-grade teacher, instructional coach, and principal on the south side of Chicago. I also had the opportunity to serve as a Director of Instruction in New Mexico, Boston, New York, and Seattle for a personalized math company, and then supported 27 schools across Chicago as a Site Director for Amplify’s literacy intervention program. I feel blessed to be returning to a faith-based school and working directly with students after starting my education career as a teaching assistant for 2nd and 3rd grades at Frances Xavier Warde in downtown Chicago. When not working, I spend time with my husband, son, daughter, and little dog, either exercising outdoors, stretching my brain at trivia nights, or enjoying live music.”
