3rd grade teacher hired
Good morning,
I have exciting news. We have had a couple interviews the past couple weeks and we have hired Mr. Jerry Gooley for 3rd grade. Mr. Gooley will team teach with Mrs. Svien and Mrs. Wagener starting today through October 17th. We thank Mrs. Svien and Mrs. Wagener for stepping in until we found a permanent replacement.
Hello everyone,
I am Jerry Gooley and will be joining the 3rd grade classroom this fall. I recently graduated from the College of Saint Scholastica in May and pursued a degree in Elementary Education. I attended St. Vincent de Paul for my K-8 years before going to Maple Grove Senior High. I believe my time at St Vincent helped me to implement Catholic values into my daily life and my interactions with the people around me. In my free time I enjoy playing and watching sports. I was able to play baseball in college and play amateur baseball for Champlin Park in the summer. I also enjoy hiking and golfing when I have free time. I look forward to meeting you and your students and building relationships this school year!
We are very lucky to have Mr. Gooley on our staff.

Holy Bible
In the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium, the children will begin their year with a celebration of the Enthronement of the Bible.
