Anne Shields - 3rd Grade teacher

I started teaching at St. Peter in 2022. I graduated from Concordia University RF/Chicago with a degree in Elementary Education. I have been fortunate enough to teach grades 1-5 in previous years. I also spent many years working in preschool and infant care.

I grew up in Central Illinois and have attended Lutheran schools for most of my schooling. My husband, Patrick, and I live in Arlington Heights with our 2 children – Eleanor & Ryan. Eleanor started at St. Peter 2 years ago in preschool and is now in 1 st grade. Ryan is new to St. Peter this year and is in preschool. We are so blessed to call St. Peter our home. We became members of the church while our daughter was in preschool.

In my free time, I love to read, cook, travel, go camping, and spend time outdoors. For me, time with my family is everything! I am very excited to be a part of this community and family. I feel so lucky that each day I get to wake up and share the love of Jesus. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me, my classroom, my students, and all of St. Peter.
