Meet the Teacher
Hello from Room 117! I'm Mrs. Lohan, and this is my thirteenth year as the reading and math interventionist at St. Bede through the ESSA Title I program.
I have been involved in education in various ways for the past twenty years. I love teaching and sharing knowledge. I have a B.A. in English from Elmhurst College (now University) and an M.A. in Teaching from Dominican University.
As you can see from my undergraduate degree, I love to read. I have so many books at home that I can't even fit them all on my shelves! On top of that, I always have a pile of books in the waiting to read. I enjoy being outdoors; fresh air and sunshine just make my day. I love warm weather, dark chocolate, animals (especially otters), and nature (but I hate the cold). My favorite sport is soccer. I played for 8 years and coached for several years for AYSO Region 423, Evergreen Park High School, St. Barnabas, and Queen of Peace High School. I also enjoy exercising, running (I have completed 4 marathons [26.2 miles] and 2 half marathons [13.1 miles]), and dancing.
A couple of fun facts about me: I worked at the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville for four years where I helped children learn through play. I also worked at Walt Disney World for 1 1/2 years. The best position I had there was as an education facilitator for the education programs where I used the parks and the attractions to learn. I bet you didn't know you could learn at Disney World!
I very much enjoy working with your child(ren).
Please feel free to contact me (via e-mail is the best way to reach me) if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's learning. [email protected]
