Lindsey Smiegowski - 1st grade teacher

I was the first in my family to earn a master’s degree, and I teach to inspire lifelong learners. My degree is in teaching, along with an elementary certificate from Concordia University (Chicago). I have been teaching for about 15 years. I started my teaching career working with preschool ages two to five and taught kindergarten and first grade.

My husband and I have a son named Austin who is our greatest accomplishment. He brings so much joy and excitement to us every day. My church home is St. Peter, where my family and I attend Encounter each Sunday. I also enjoy all sports and have an energetic personality. My passion outside the classroom is gymnastics. I grew up a gymnast and now coach high school gymnastics. I love encouraging, supporting, and building confidence in student athletes.

I’m super thrilled to be teaching 1st grade here at St. Peter. I can’t wait to bring my enthusiasm, experience, and encouragement to each group of kiddos.
