Mrs. Sandy Gallaher
With teaching Kindergarten, I believe that the children need hands on experiences to learn. We do many hands on activities. Children also learn through songs, so singing is a essential part of my teaching. I believe the children are flowers that are ready to bloom. I provide the sunshine and water to help them grow in their education.
What I like most about teaching at St. Peter School is I love the fact that my children have grown up here and the staff is very supportive. Some of the unique learning opportunities provided to students in my classroom are we celebrate the 50th day in 1950’s style, we make gingerbread houses in December and we get to celebrate the 100th day of school in late January or early February.

Prior to teaching kindergarten, I have taught sixth and second grade here. I also taught for one year at Epiphany Grade School in Normal. I began my education in grade school at Sacred Heart in Effingham before transferring to Teutopolis Grade School. I attended Teutopolis High School and received a B.S. in Elementary Education from Quincy University. John and I have 3 grown children. We have 2 daughters, Amanda and Jenn married to Mark, and a son Robert. I have 3 grandchildren Joel, Lily, and Leah and a grandson on the way. Our family has a very spoiled dog, Ellie. I enjoy walking, cooking, and baking. I love desserts!
