Name: Mrs. Laura Dundon

Educational Background:   I received my BA degree in Elementary Education grades 1 through 9 from Mount Mary College in 1988. Since then I have taken over fifty graduate credits, keeping up to date on current trends and technologies in Elementary Education. 

How long have you been at St. Joseph Catholic School?: My teaching career began in a first grade classroom at St. Paul School in 1988. In 1990, I accepted the first grade teaching position at Mother of Good Counsel School (MGC). I remained at MGC for twelve years before joining the terrific teaching team at St. Joseph Catholic School in 2003. 

Family Life and Hobbies:   I have a wonderfully involved husband and two beautiful children who were fortunate to attend St. Joseph Catholic School from 4K through eighth grade. My daughter graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School in 2013 and now attends the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My son is a senior at Pewaukee High School. I am so happy with how their years at St. Joseph Catholic School prepared them for the next phases of their lives. We really enjoy doing things together as a family such as attending sporting events, concerts, and festivals, exploring the small towns of Wisconsin, watching movies, vacationing, and playing games. I love non-fiction reading, gardening, exploring new places, craft sales, and laughing with good friends

I have chosen to teach in the Catholic School my entire career because I truly believe that faith is a way of life that must be nurtured, developed, examined, and lived out every day beginning at the very youngest age. As a teacher I strive to create a classroom environment in which every child feels valuable and special. I try very hard to make learning challenging, exciting, hands-on, and current.
