Hello! My name is Sue Pietrie. I teach 3rd grade. This will be my (drum roll…..) 26th year at St. Rita and 36 years total teaching. I received my Bachelors in Education from Northern Illinois University, with endorsements in Reading and Music. I have taught 2nd up through 5th grade. I find it both challenging and rewarding to teach, ensuring students are prepared for their future while having positive experiences in the process. My husband, Joe, and I live in Aurora. We have one daughter, Beverly, who will be getting married in October. I enjoy playing euphonium and trombone in local community bands. (A euphonium looks like a small tuba). I also collect Disney Trading pins. I feel grateful and blessed to be a part of the St. Rita of Cascia School community.
