Meet our Staff

I come to SAA with over twenty years of educational experience with the last seventeen of those years as a principal. I have worked in two K-12 schools, one 9-12 school and SAA will be my second K-9 school. I am so very pleased and proud to be part of the team and I am looking forward to getting to know our students, staff and the families of Sister Alphonse Academy better. I am also happy to share that my wife and I have been here since the opening of SAA in 2018 and we now have two children attending the school. I pride myself on being able to make relationships with people and that truly is the best part of my job. I am also encouraging all of our families to try and get involved with the school as much as possible, as only collectively, can we make the learning experience the best it can be for students. Welcome to SAA everyone, I am so proud to be the principal of such a fun faith-filled learning environment. All the best and Go Knights!

I am excited to be back at SAA serving students, staff and families! I have been with GSCARD for over 20 years and I'm looking forward to another great school year at SAA and all the wonderful memories we get to build as a community. I come to school every day to do what is best for kids and supporting them in whatever way I can. 

I am excited to be starting at SAA! I can’t wait to welcome our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students into our Knights family! Early learning students will have many opportunities to explore, inquire, play, and safely learn about the world around them. I am looking forward to meeting our young leaners.

Welcome to the new school year! This will be my fourteenth year teaching, and I am absolutely thrilled to be returning to SAA for another exciting year. I am especially looking forward to working with our fantastic grade 1 students.  I can’t wait to see all our returning Knights and welcome our new Knights as well. I am eager to begin a year full of discovery, fun, and meaningful learning experiences. 

I have been teaching at GSACRD since 2003 and have worked with students at all grades levels from Preschool through grade 6.  This is my second year at Sister Alphonse Academy and I am looking forward to forming a close-knit group in my grade 2 class where we support each other in learning, sharing and having fun together.  I love doing science experiments, art projects and having open discussions where we find the answers  to everything we are wondering about!
I have 2 teenagers and a dog named Rosie, and I love to walk, read, watch movies, play games and go camping in my free time.  I also love animals of all kinds, but especially dogs and bears!

I’m thrilled to join SAA for the 2024-25 school year. For the past two years I taught in Morinville, but I’ve also worked with young minds in the Yukon and Ontario. I come to work every day with the goal of helping students become kind and courageous lifelong learners. I love teaching every subject, but have a special interest in social studies, environmental science, phys-ed and anything that gets kids thinking and moving. Outside of the classroom, you’ll find me road biking, gardening, and playing board games with my niece and nephews. Without a doubt, field trips are my favourite thing about teaching!

I am thrilled to be joining the SAA team and eager to meet all the students we have the privilege to teach. With over 10 years of experience working with children and their families, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I find joy in watching children learn and am excited to create a safe, inspiring, and enjoyable learning environment for everyone. I cannot wait to partner up with parents and families to help our students achieve their maximum potential. I can tell that SAA is an exciting place to be. I look forward to getting to know our Knights and to taking on a new adventure together.

I am excited to be an official member of the SAA team and look forward to a great year! A little bit about me, I recently graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Education and a Certificate in Catholic Education. I grew up in Edmonton in a big family (7 siblings) so I feel like I have extra years of teaching behind me. When I’m not at school you might find me at a board game cafe playing Settlers of Catan or going on a run in the river valley. I take my training to be the fastest runner in the class very seriously. I also enjoy reading, hiking, performing arts, and the occasional Mario Kart marathon. I am very blessed to be a part of the SAA community and to be able to see your smiling faces every day. We are going to learn so many great things this year, and I am looking forward to every minute of it.

Wow! What an an amazing opportunity and gift to be part of a Sister Alphonse Academy. I have been teaching for nearly 20 years and am so excited about the wonderful things that are unfolding at Sister Alphonse Academy. One of my main goals as a teacher is to build relationships with my students where they enjoy coming to school just as much as I do! I love bringing learning to life and getting students to connect to the world outside our classroom. That means, I am always learning alongside my students. With 21st century learning guiding me, I think about how to get my students to be collaborators, communicators, critical thinkers, and creators through meaningful and engaging learning experiences. Learning is a journey and working together as a team of staff, students, and parents, we will make the best of it. I look forward to meeting many new faces and can’t wait to get started!

I am so thankful for the opportunity for another year in a Grade 5 classroom and to collaborate with my fantastic grade level partner and friend, Mrs. Lobel! I am entering my 24th year of teaching, keen to continue learning and embrace our new Science curriculum. I look forward to being wonder driven learning alongside our students this year! We'll engage in as much life worthy learning as possible. I look forward to accompanying students and families as they journey throughout the year and beyond. 

This will be my fifth year at SAA and I am so lucky to be a part of this lovely community of students, parents and staff. With English Language Arts and Science being my primary subjects this year, we will be collaborating, learning, innovating, investigating and discovering together. I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new families and students this fall, and I am so excited to see what new adventures await with our busy SAA family!

I am delighted to have the opportunity to teach K-6 music at SAA! I have about 20 years experience teaching in most grades in elementary school. As welI, I  have taught music for  3 years in the division. My goal is to inspire students to develop an appreciation for music, develop many skills and knowledge in music and to become lifelong learners in music. My favorite part of teaching is the relationships I form with students and being a part of their learning experience. My hope is that students look forward to music class everyday!  Music class is a place for joy, expression and creativity. I strive to create a classroom that is inclusive, caring,safe and rewarding for all students. I'm looking forward to getting to know all the students and becoming a part of the SAA community.

I am thrilled to be full time at Sister Alphonse for the 23/24 school year. I love my job and I love helping kids feel successful in their learning! I am looking forward to getting to know all  the new staff at learners at SAA this year! 

Wow! It is great to be back at SAA for the 23/24 school year! I love working with kids and helping them grow and flourish in their learning! Looking forward to all the fun we'll have this year! 

Hello to my SAA family! I am so excited to be here! I have been an Educational Assistant with St.Albert Catholic Schools for the last 8 Years. I am a happy-go-lucky goofball of a person who lives to sprinkle in a little fun and silliness with our work. I love travel, dancing (though I’m not that good), coffee, and food! Working with children is my passion. Seeing them learn and grow is truly a gift that I am grateful to do for a living! I can’t wait to get to know you all, and to join the team at SAA for the 2023/2024 year! 

Hello SAA community! I am looking forward to the school year and working along side the students at SAA. I  enjoy watching students learn through various ways and succeed!

I am thrilled to join the SAA family! With a deep passion for working with children, I find joy in engaging with them and watching them grow, both academically and personally. My goal is to foster a nurturing and supportive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. I look forward to creating lasting and meaningful memories together with the students, contributing to their journey, and being a part of this vibrant community! 

Our family has been proud members of the SAA community since its second year of operation. In 2022, I became a substitute educational assistant. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work at both a high school and elementary school level. After various casual assignments, I am proud to be a part of the wonderful team of educators at Sister Alphonse Academy.
Supporting and encouraging both our teaching staff and our young minds has always been a dream of mine. 
I believe that we have the power to set our youth up for success by giving them tools to live a happy, healthy life!

Hello to SAA community! I am excited to go along with kids and watch them to feel successful in learning. I enjoy supporting the kids  in positive and caring ways. Looking forward to getting to know our learners and the SAA family.

As the school works to best support our 21st century learners, the learning commons will strive to be a community hub where kids are not only free to express themselves, but also foster a love for learning, exploration, and creativity. As a library technician, I cannot wait to not only help students on their faith and learning journeys, but to also share my passion for reading! I look forward to beginning this new school year!
