Mrs. Jamie Bruggeman

My name is Jamie Bruggeman and I am a proud graduate of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Elementary School and Providence High School.  Both experiences have given me a strong foundation in my faith, which will play a significant role in my teaching.  I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Elementary Education and I received my Masters in School Administration from Indiana University Southeast.   
 
This will be my 15^th year teaching but my 4^th year teaching first grade at St. John Paul ll.  Prior to teaching at St. John Paul ll, I was a teacher for 11 years in the Greater Clark County School Corporation.  I’ve taught kindergarten, first, second, third and fourth grades.  Most of my teaching experience has been in first grade, which I have loved!  First grade is such an important year, and I enjoy seeing all of the progress the students make, especially in reading!
 
My family and I live in Sellersburg, Indiana.  My husband and I have been parishioners of St. John Paul ll Catholic Church for ten years.  We have three children.  My daughter is in fourth grade here at St. John Paul ll and she loves school!  My son is in the first grade and is excited to be a big first grader.  My youngest son, is almost five.  He will be going to preschool here at St. John Paul ll.  He’s excited that his preschool classroom is in the same building as his big brother!  I feel very blessed to get to work where I send my own children.
