Jill Schutz - 2nd grade teacher

I am very excited to be teaching second grade at St. Peter! I have been teaching since 1993. I have my degree in elementary education and a minor in science. I have taught a variety of grade levels over the years, including preschool, kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 5. I have also been very involved in middle school at St. Peter, leading chapel services, facilitating middle school huddle/discipleship groups, and helping with our Christmas services.

My family became members at St. Peter Lutheran Church and School in 2007, when my oldest son began kindergarten. We made beautiful friendships here and decided this was where we wanted to raise our children in a firm foundation of faith. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Adam, for 25 years, and we are blessed with two incredible sons, Trevor and Tyson. Both of our boys attended St. Peter from kindergarten through Grade 8. 

I am passionate about empowering my students with opportunities in leadership and discipleship. I love to engage students in the discovery process while integrating faith and technology whenever possible. I look forward to building deep relationships with my students and helping them lead a full life in Christ. My goal is to instill a love for Jesus and for learning that goes beyond the classroom into their daily lives. I love teaching at St. Peter because I can share the love of Jesus openly and weave Biblical truths into science, history, and all areas of our curriculum.
