About Miss Sims

I graduated from UK in 1975 and began my teaching career that same year.  I spent 3 years teaching at St. Joseph's in Bardstown.  After a terrible winter in 1978, I decided it was time to come back to Louisville.  I was hired at St. Barnabas and taught there for 7 years.  At the end of my time there, I interviewed with Mrs. Kalbhin.  She hired me to teach second grade here at SSM.  Nearly 25 years later, I have gone up to 3rd grade and now 5th and 6th grade.  In August of 2010, I will celebrate 35 years teaching in the Archdiocese of Louisville.  I have earned my Masters of Education from U.L. and have completed my Rank I (30 hours above a Master) with course work from various universities in the U.S.  

During the summer, I love to travel. I have been in most of the western European countries.  My favorite is Italy!  I have only visited there 6 times.  During two of those trips, I studied the Italian language at the University for Foreign Students in Perugia!  That was so exciting.

I also enjoy learning about Space, and have had the opportunity to study with NASA Education programs in Virginia, Alabama, Florida, and Texas.  I watch for the Space Station each time I know it is going over.  It is easy to see, since it is the brightest object int he night sky.
