Secretary Mrs. Sylvia Yunker 202 258-4165 - 112

My name is Sylvia Yunker and I am proud to be the school secretary at St. Vincent Pallotti School. Proud because I am a graduate of 1956 and my son graduated in 1980. Traditional values are important to my family, as is a well-rounded education. St. Vincent Pallotti School provides those values and a fine education with a talented and dedicated staff. The secretarial position includes support for the Principal, typing, answering phones, personal contacts with parents, nursing needs and teacher needs. I am happy to be part of the St. Vincent Pallotti Parish/School Community.

My name is Linda Prange and I am the full-day K4 teacher at St. Vincent
Pallotti School.  I have had many years of teaching experience at various
grade levels, but this age is my absolute favorite!  I graduated from
UW-Whitewater with a B.S. of Education, and also have my Master's Degree
from UW-Whitewater.  One of my most interesting teaching experiences was
teaching in an elementary school in Penzance, England.  My husband, son,
daughter and I enjoy traveling and having family time together.  I believe
that a safe, caring atmosphere to learn, explore, socialize and grow in is
the best way to start out a child's education.  Please stop by to visit!

I have a BS degree in education from Indiana University and an MAT degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My teaching experience spans 15 years. I have taught in many socio-economic areas, all of the elementary grades, and mostly in the Midwest.
My travels have been extensive in the United States, Canada, and most of the Caribbean Islands. I have also been to England.  I am delighted to be a part of St. Vincent Pallotti School. I find the staff, administration, and students providing a loving and nurturing environment in which to learn.

My name is Judy Dorner. I went to school at UW Stout for my degree in Early Childhood Education and recently to Cardinal Stritch for my reading license. I really enjoy working at Saint Vincent Pallotti, and seeing the first graders change and grow throughout the year. I believe that children should experience learning through all their senses. For fun, I enjoy boating, visiting zoos, and listening to Elvis and Neal Diamond. I have spent my classroom career teaching children ages 4-7. In addition, I also have many years of tutoring children of all ages.

My name is Jessica Prange.  I am the teachers aide for grades K4, K5 and First Grade.  I also help out the Second and Third Grade teachers occasionally.  My favorite thing about being an aide is hearing a child say, "Look Miss Jessica, I can...." from tying their own shoes, to zipping zippers, to printing their name, to reading a story.  It is very exciting to see the children so thrilled at learning something new.  I am a student at Carroll College majoring in Sociology and Criminal Justice.  I hope to work as a social worker in a school setting after earning my Bachelors of Arts Degree.  I enjoy traveling with my family, and reading.

I am excited about becoming a part of the wonderful team of teachers at St. Vincent Pallotti this year!  I earned my teaching certificate and Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences at Marquette University.  After my time at Marquette I began working on a Master of Science degree at UW-Milwaukee in Cultural Foundations of Education while I taught for four years at St. Leo Catholic Urban Academy where I spent two years teaching second grade and two years teaching fourth grade.  I am thrilled to job share with Mrs. Kirchner this year because it will allow me to spend time doing two of my favorite things – teaching AND spending time with my new baby boy, Sawyer!  I also enjoy reading, rollerblading, playing softball and mountain biking with my husband.   

Fifth Grade - Mrs. Romelle Kirchner  304 258-4165 - 245

I am a graduate of Alverno College with a B.S. degree in Education.  I hold a life time teaching license and a Reading 316 license from Mount Mary College.  Ms. Stango-Yogerst and I have thee ideal job.  We job-share the fifth grade.  This concept has worked extremely well.  Both parents and students feel our program at St. Vincent Pallotti School is one of the best.

I was born and raised in the Milwaukee area where I attended both Catholic grade school and high school. I graduated from Marquette University with an English major and a History minor. Shortly after graduation, I returned to fulfill the necessary course work for my teaching license. I enjoy walking for physical exercise and reading for mental exercise. My goal is to make par on a hole - any hole. My father taught me that travel is the best education and although I've been unable to do much lately, I've traveled extensively both in the U.S. and abroad. This has enhanced my ability to teach my favorite subject - Social Studies.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse and presently have twenty-seven graduate credits in continuing education courses. My lifetime teaching certificate is for grades four through eight. My present responsibilities include the language arts and literature programs for the Middle School level, as well as the eighth grade homeroom. I enjoy reading traveling.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse with a Major in Physical Education (K - 12). My special concentrations are in School and Community Fitness and Coaching competitive Athletics. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree. I am married to my husband, Tom and have two daughters, Jenny and Katie. In my spare time, I enjoy time with my family and friends.

I graduated with my degree in music from Cardinal Stritch College. I have been teaching elementary music in the Milwaukee Archdiocese schools for the past twenty years. I have called St. Vincent Pallotti School my home for the past seven years. I meet with all the students of the school; kindergarten through grade eight. We learn the elements and an appreciation of music through song, music making with instruments, dance, and drama with an emphasis on cultural diversity. The children participate in two all school concerts a year. They have grown to anticipate with enthusiasm each upcoming project. I will look forward to meeting your child.

My name is Dee Dee Schudiske. I have been the librarian at this school since 1978. Our library is open to students on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Grade one through three visit the library twice a week. Grade four through six visit once a week. Grades seven and eight come to the library whenever reading material is needed during library hours.  I enjoy working with our students very much, and always feel successful when I'm able to assist in finding an interesting book for each individual. To get the students to enjoy reading is one of my main goals.
