Welcome to Room 113! I'm Julie Zucker, one of the 1st grade teachers. I graduated from Cleveland State University with a BA in Early Childhood Education. My teaching career began at St. Paul in 2012 after being a paraprofessional for 3 years.
My heart belongs in Early Childhood Education. It is truly my vocation to help young children learn new things while also encouraging their independence. My philosophy includes partnering with parents to support the development and well-being of their child.
I was born in Cleveland, OH and attended Catholic schools for elementary and high school. My husband and I have 2 children, both in college. We moved to Westerville in 2003, and shortly after, my daughter started Kindergarten at St. Paul and my son started 2 years later. We also have a dog named Lacey and a cat named Cali. After school, I enjoy cooking for family and friends. I've also taken up all kinds of craft projects.
