I would like to introduce myself to the St Michael community, I am Lindsay Riley, and I will be teaching the first-grade class this year. I am excited to be here and am looking forward to getting to know the families of St Michael. I graduated from Ferris State University with a Master’s in Administration in 2003. I am currently completing my teaching certification through Saginaw Valley State University. I spent the last two years as the teacher aid for the first-grade class at St. Gerard School, and absolutely feel in love with teaching this grade. My husband, Josh, and I have four children ages 14, 12, 9, and 7. My oldest son will be attending Lansing Catholic High School this fall and my other children will be attending St Gerard School. Our family is very active, and we love to travel and spend time outdoors. We enjoy going to the beach, spending time with family, and playing sports. I feel so blessed to be able to teach at a Catholic School where we are free to learn and grow in our faith. I am looking forward to getting to know your children and getting back into the classroom. We are going to have a busy year learning, developing relationships, and growing in our love for Jesus Christ.
