Hi! I'm Mrs. Neels! 

Mrs. Neels has been an educator for 15  years,  using multimedia to inspire,challenge, broaden, and cultivate the minds and hearts of children.

 She loves collaborative art and bringing the natural world into the classroom. Growibg up in the Catholic faith and attending Catholic grade school and high school, (Villa, if you're curious,) she feels a deep spiritual connection with the  beutiful art that Christ and  the Holy Spirit bless us with every day; the suun on a beautiful St. Louis afternoon, the smile on a child's face when they havd achieved something that challenged them, the bloom of frost on a winter morning.

Mrs. Neels has a husband who is also a eacher, two little boys ages 4 and 7, and a goofball bulldog-boxer mix  named Athena. 

Her favorite artist is Georges Seurat. and her hobbies incude reading, painting, hiking with her family. thrifting, and gardening.
