Welcome to Third Grade with Mrs. Fisher!
This is my third year teaching at St. Joseph Catholic School. I have lived in Vernon Hills for 20 years. I have five kids, two girls and three boys. I enjoy cooking, gardening, DIY projects, walking my dog, and spending time with my kids. I attended Northeastern Illinois University and University of Phoenix. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with an endorsement in Structured English Immersion for PreK-12. I was a third grade student teacher and a substitute teacher at St. Francis de Sales School in Lake Zurich. I volunteered at St. Mary School in Buffalo Grove for five years. I am so happy to be a part of the SJCS community!
