Name: Barbara Laubusch
Educational Background: I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and Marketing and a teaching certificate for Middle and Early Childhood from Carroll College.
How long have you been at St. Joseph Catholic School: I started teaching 4th grade at St. Joseph Catholic School in August 2007. In August 2018, I went to part time helping students in and out of the classroom and teaching technology to kindergarten through 5th grade. On the days I am not working, I am at home watching my grandchildren grow, explore and learn!
Family Life: I have been married to my husband, Nick, since 1982. We have three children, Beth (husband, Joe), Ben, and Matt (wife, Amanda) and two wonderful grandchildren, Gavin and Lilly.
Hobbies: In my spare time I love to read. My favorite genre of book is mystery, but I enjoy any genre of book. I also enjoy any type of craft, such as scrap booking, knitting, crocheting, and many more. My favorite thing to do is to hang out with my children, their spouses and children, playing board games, cards, or just sitting and talking about what is happening in their lives.
I am a very easy going person who likes to look for the good in a person. I love teaching children. I especially enjoy seeing their faces when they say they understand and can relate what we are doing to everyday life. I like to have fun with things and this carries into my teaching. I can honestly say I LOVE SCHOOL! I remember loving school way back in kindergarten. I have always enjoyed school and learning! I am looking forward to working with your child and helping them grow.
