Meet the 4th Grade Teachers


Mr. Matthew Herber 

Student of the Week Schedule

Welcome back!! My name is Mr. Matthew Herber. Here is a little bit about myself. This is my second year at St. Gabriel. I I taught 3rd grade last year. I did my student teaching for 5th grade at Avery Elementary school in Webster Groves.  I love sports and watching movies and I love playing video games with my friends. In my family, I have one brother and one sister. I also have two dogs. The first one is named Esther and she is 6 years old. The second one is named Olive and she is 4 years old. During the summer I  go to my family lake house and go tubing and water skiing.  My lake house is my favorite. When I’m not at my family lake house, I would be doing yard work at my house. I love being outside in the fresh air. I look forward to a year of learning and fun

Degree: I graduated in May of this year from Missouri State University in Springfield Missouri. 

Certification: I hold an Initial Professional Certification (IPC) in Elementary Education Grades 1-6


Student of the week information 

Each student will have a week all about them. They will share something about themselves each day in front of their classmates. After they share their information, there classmates will ask them questions about what they shared. This helps us learn something new about our classmates. On the link below will explain what the student will share on that day when they are student of the week. Student of the week Schedule

I then decided to stay at home to raise my 4 children, Colin 15, Reagan 13, Jack 11, and Lily 9 for 10 years. I love to run, hang out at the pool and lake with my family and enjoy the outdoors.  I am so excited to be in the classroom doing what I love! This is going to be a great year!
