About+Me

Meet Mrs. Ritchie!

My name is Mrs. Kathleen Ritchie and I am your student's  Language Arts and Reading Teacher! I am very excited to work with your student to achieve what he/she is capable of and push them not only to meet but to exceed their capabilities! Some characteristics that describe me are caring, devoted, enthusiastic, ORGANIZED, and always giving my very best!

This year, I hope my students take pride in all that they do and work hard to reach their dreams! My main expectation is that they learn something new each day and value all that they will learn throughout the year!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
This is my fourth year in Creve Coeur School District 76 and my third year in the classroom.
