About Your Teacher

My name is Amanda (Labuz) Gelwicks. I was born and raised in Chicago with my parents and five siblings. I attended Regina Dominican H.S. nearby in Wilmette and went on to study education at Saint Louis University. At SLU, I earned a Bachelors of Arts in Education in both Elementary Ed and Special Ed while I competed for the Billikens in cross country and track. Additionally, I completed my Masters of Science in Special Education at Northeastern Illinois University and obtained my Learning Behavior Specialist II license.

I have a passion for teaching and am very happy that I get to share that with the children and families at Pleasant Ridge. This is my sixth year at PR and I cannot be more excited to return to such a fantastic staff and community!
