Ms. Sarah Pethan St. Bernard School Room 5 2019-2020
Meet Mrs. Pethan ❂ I have been teaching at St. Bernard School for 16 years and a member of St. Bernard Parish for 19 years. ❂ My two children, Nick and Zach, graduated from St. Bernard and Notre Dame Academy. Nick is a pilot studying at UW-Green Bay and flight instructing at CAVU Flight Academy. Zach is in his third year in the College of Engineering at UW-Madison ❂ I LOVE cats, football, baseball, airplanes, the beach, and traveling. ❂ I feel I am a coach in the classroom rather than a teacher. We are a team working together to grow academically, socially, and with God. I am a proud recipient of a Golden Apple Award.
