New Staff 

Welcome to our newest Wildcat Teachers!!! 

We are so glad you are here!!

Mrs. Spellmeyer

Stretch

Mrs. Spellmeyer teaches Stretch because she believes that gifted students are taken for granted and people tend to leave them alone since they are so smart but in reality they are just the same as normal students. Mrs. Spellmeyer also happens to have 2 bearded dragons (a species of lizards) at home.

Mrs. Dudley 

6th-grade science

Mrs. Dudley is one of the new science teachers. She always loved science as a kid. As she was growing up, she knew exactly what she wanted to do - teach kids about science, as you can tell she met that goal. One of her favorite types of science is Botany ( the study of plants) and you can tell because she has many plants around her room.  

Mrs. Berkley

Stretch

Mrs. Berkley started her teaching journey in Louisiana teaching language arts, but after a while, she realized she wanted to teach Stretch. If you visit her classroom you will see her wonderful pet, a toothless axolotl. 


Ms. Brown

6th grade History & Science

Mrs. Brown is a very fun and kind person. She first taught science and as much as she loved that she couldn't get rid of the fact that she also loves history and obviously she found the perfect job here at LSMS doing both!

Mrs. Dunn

8th grade History

Mrs. Dunn has always been fascinated with the past and how we got to where we are today. She gives credit to her parents for taking her to visit historical sites and helping her realize how interesting history can be. 

Ms. Elking

Spanish

Ms. Elking fell in love with the Spanish language and culture in high school. She loves sharing her love of language with students and families!

Ms. Grace

6th grade Language Arts

Ms. Grace is new to Lasalle and she loves teaching Language Arts because she loves reading  great stories, so why not share it with kids? She happens to love how open and welcoming Lasalle seems to be and made quick friends with the other teachers.

Ms. Lewis

8th grade Science

Ms. Lewis comes from a family of teachers. Her mom is a speech pathologist and her dad is an English teacher. In her free time, Ms. Lewis loves puzzles, Lego sets, and playing video games.

Mr. Sullivan

8th grade Math

Mr. Sulivan is a new Teacher here at LSMS. He started his teaching journey a few years ago. He said that he always knew that if he became a teacher it would be a Math teacher. 

Miss Biernbaum

Facs teacher

Mrs. Biernbaum is the new facs teacher who is super nice and funny. She likes to get work done and it seems like that because she was actually fixing a sewing machine while we were talking to her. A fun fact about her is she is self-teaching herself both Spanish and Korean.

Mrs. Schmidt

Technology 

Mrs. Schmidt is the new technology teacher who discovered her love for robotics and technology by actually teaching science before. I guess it's proof that everyone's favorite in science is the experiment. Something crazy that happened to Mrs. Schmidt once is that she swam right by a shark when she was in Florida!!
