We are excited to share some wonderful news about the future of our school community. As we prepare for the 2025-2026 school year, we are thrilled to welcome two new teachers who will be joining our staff and continuing the legacy of excellence in our early elementary grades.
Ms. Elle Armstrong will be stepping into the role of kindergarten teacher, following the dedicated service of Mrs. Amber Hellmann. A De Pere native and a 2017 graduate of St. Norbert College, Ms. Armstrong brings both a love for teaching and a strong connection to our local community. She shared,
“Hi, I’m Miss Armstrong! I was born and raised in De Pere, and am a 2017 St. Norbert grad. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family at our cottage in Green Lake and cheer on the Packers! I am beyond excited to join the GRACE school system and be a part of the SBS community.”
Ms. Alexis Olson will be joining us as our new first-grade teacher, following the departure of Ms. Terri Larson. Ms. Olson recently completed her degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Language Arts at St. Norbert College. Many of our students and families may already recognize her from her time student teaching at SBS this past fall. She shared,
“I’m thrilled to be joining the SBS community as a first-grade teacher next year! I had a wonderful experience as a student teacher here in the fall and truly fell in love with the warm, supportive community. I recently graduated from St. Norbert College with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Language Arts, and I am so excited to begin my teaching career at a place that already feels like home!”
We are so excited to welcome Ms. Armstrong and Ms. Olson to our St. Bernard School family. Their enthusiasm, passion for teaching, and love for our community will make them a great fit for our mission and values. We can’t wait to see the joy, learning, and inspiration they will bring to their classrooms and to our entire school.
