Hello! My name is Abbie Starr, and I am the preschool teacher here at St. Michael School. I have worked at the childcare here over the summer and during breaks from school since May 2017. I feel incredibly blessed to begin my teaching career within this wonderful community, where I can share my Catholic faith while working with young children.

I grew up in Grand Ledge, and I attended Catholic schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. I studied Elementary and Early Childhood Education at Saginaw Valley State University. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, crafting, and hiking. I look forward to working with you and your child!

You are your child’s most important teacher. We are here to support and enhance all learning experiences for your child. Throughout the year, our focus will be on small and large motor development, social/emotional skills, art, pre-reading, language arts, science, beginning math skills, and religious concepts.
