My name is Patricia Krause.  I teach 6th,7th and 8th grade Social Studies and I have the sixth grade homeroom. This is my fifth year at St. Ann.  I  see my role as a facilitator rather than a teacher.  I believe if I can teach students to think then they will become life long learners and I will  have accomplished my personal goal for educating children. This is the third year I have sponsored Student Council. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from UMSL and a Master's Degree from Maryville University.  I hold life certificates in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and am certified in Gifted Education.

I have five children and eleven grandchildren. On any given weekend you can find me at some sporting event or band competition.
