Meet Your Teacher:
Hi! My name is Mrs.
Sue Brandt. I am so excited to be part
of a fantastic group of third graders at Bethlehem Lutheran School again this year. I am thrilled to be your teacher! It’s going to be a great year filled with new
adventures, field trips, new technology, new reading, and language activities. I want to know ALL about you, but first I’m
going to tell you a few things about me.
I was born in Denver, Colorado so I have the love of
mountains in my blood! My parents were
both Lutheran school teachers before becoming a principal and Lutheran World
Relief leader (Dad) and school librarian (Mom).
While growing up we also lived in a suburb of Chicago and then St. Louis, MO where
my parents still live. I went to college
at Concordia University in Chicago, IL where I majored in both elementary and
high school education. I also have a
masters degree in Library Science from the Univ. of Michigan.
I taught fourth grade for two years in St. Louis, MO and
began the library at Valley Lutheran High School. I have also served a temporary post of
Children’s Librarian at Butman Fish Library.
I am married to a wonderful man I met in college-Dr. John
Brandt, who is the Executive Director at Valley Lutheran High School. We have two super, grown children. My daughter Krista and her husband have two
girls who are 3 years and 6 months old.
Krista teaches third and fourth grade and the music at St. John Lutheran
in Aurora, IN. So we have lots of ideas
to share! My son Mark is a professor and
researcher at Tilberg University in the Netherlands. He and his wife have a 4 year old. Needless to say, we LOVE using Skype and
Facetime to keep up with their lives.
When my son Mark was a third grader I began my ministry at Bethlehem
teaching third grade. While I have
taught other grades part time during my career, I think I love the third grade
age group best.
So I am looking forward
to our year together.
