Miss Pfister

Please welcome the newest member of the St. Jude School family, our 6th grade teacher Miss Ellen Pfister. This is her first year teaching after graduating from St. Mary's College last spring with a dual license in Elementary Education and Special Education.

Miss Pfister grew up in Huntington, IN (just south of Ft. Wayne) where she attended a small Catholic school similar to St. Jude. Her mother was a teacher there and was one of her major inspirations in choosing the teaching route in life. Her favorite pastimes include reading and running. She was a member of the St. Mary's Cross Country team while attending there. She also enjoys participating and watching sports. She has attended all the ND football games this season and is looking forward to basketball season starting.

Ellen comes from a large family and loves spending time with them as much as possible. Miss Pfister plans her Language Arts lessons in a way that engages her students and makes learning appealing to them. This teaching model shows that learning is not just about textbooks and tests. She believes that if she's excited about teaching, her students will feel the same about learning. We are thrilled to have her with us.
