Hello families of St. John the Baptist School!
My name is Melissa Kultgen, and I am so blessed and honored to be joining St. John the Baptist School this year as your children’s Spanish teacher. I am excited to meet your children and watch them grow as language learners! My own passion for learning the Spanish language developed at an early age thanks to my magnificent teachers, and I hope to ignite that same passion in your children.
Those same teachers that inspired my love for language also inspired me to become a teacher. I graduated from Concordia University Wisconsin Mequon in 2014 with my BA in Secondary English and a minor in Spanish. I then went on to work at a few different schools including Immanuel Lutheran School in Sheboygan, Sheboygan Lutheran High School, and most recently St. John Lutheran School in Plymouth. I am humbled that God has brought me to St. John the Baptist School for the next chapter of my teaching career!
My family is super excited to meet you all as well! We live in Belgium, which is slightly south of Plymouth, so it will be nice to have both of my worlds so close together. My husband Eric and I have been married for five years this August, together for eleven. We have a two-year-old daughter, Evelyn Mae, and a four-year-old rescue dog, Patches. Evie has already visited school with me, and she can’t wait to help get the classroom ready!
I thank you in advance for the privilege and blessing to teach your children!
¡Hasta pronto! See you soon!
Blessings,
Melissa Kultgen
