Let me introduce myself!
My name is Valerie Kath. I grew up in Council Bluffs, IA. I moved to Minnesota to attend the University of St. Thomas, where I earned Bachelor's Degrees in Elementary Education and Psychology. I ran cross country and track at St. Thomas and met my husband, Josh, while doing so. Josh and I have three children. Cole is a freshman at Mounds View. Lauren is a 7th grader at Chippewa. Ryan is a 5th grader at Island Lake.
This is my 9th year teaching. I taught first grade for 5 years in north Minneapolis before having children. I stayed home with our children for 11 years and returned to the classroom when they were all in full day school. This is my 4th year teaching kindergarten for Island Lake.
When I am not teaching I love simply being home with my family. We love to spend time outdoors. We enjoy biking, camping, bonfires with good friends, and spending time on the lake (skiing, tubing, & lounging in the summer and ice skating in the winter). I also enjoy running and sewing.
