Welcome to 4th Grade! My name is Mrs. Kyle Wnek, and this will be my 30th year teaching here at St. Matthew, with this being my 42nd year of teaching overall. Previous to moving to Columbus, I taught 4th grade for 12 years in a small Catholic school in eastern Ohio. My daughter began attending school at St. Matthew when we moved to Gahanna, and I worked as a substitute teacher in the Catholic schools and Gahanna schools in grades K through 8th. I was thrilled to get the first grade position at St. Matthew one year later, which I taught for eleven years. I love being back in the fourth grade!
I have been married to my husband, Brian, for forty years, and we have two children. Our daughter Blake and her husband Nathan live in Gahanna with our three grandsons, ten year old Oliver, eight year old Ezra, and six year old Finn. Our son Zach and his wife Maria live in Marysville with our granddaughter, Gianna "Gigi", who is 3 years old. Both of my children are graduates of St. Matthew.
I am looking forward to an awesome year!
My mission is to provide my students with a safe, comfortable, loving, and Catholic environment. We will keep Christ at the center of all we say and do. I will work to achieve my goal of having every child work to their full potential in all areas, including academically, socially, and spiritually. I hope to instill and nurture a love of learning in each child, that they will carry with them throughout their lives.
