5th Grade
Deirdre comes to St. Patrick’s school with a wide variety of teaching experiences. Her first year of teaching was spent on the Omaha Indian Reservation in Macy, Nebraska. Deirdre taught 4th, 5th, and 6th grades at St. Gabriel the Archangel School in Louisville, Kentucky as well as 6th grade for two years at Christ the King in Omaha.
While Deirdre is not a native to Nebraska, she did attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she received her undergraduate degree. In 2001, she completed her Masters degree in reading and writing from the University of Louisville (Louisville, Kentucky). Deirdre feels that literacy is very important and spends a lot of time planning lessons to enhance her student’s appreciation and understanding.
In her free time, Deirdre loves to read, write, cross stitch, scrapbook, and spend time with her husband and daughter, who is a student at St. Patrick's School.
Sonja Dreher, our 5th grade religion, reading, and science teacher, enjoys the challenges of teaching and feels that St. Patrick’s allows its students to strive to do their best and be their best in a caring, positive environment where the academic and behavioral expectations are high. Sonja earned her Bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education and English from Oklahoma Panhandle State University and her Master’s Degree in Secondary Education from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. Her teaching experiences began in 1993 and have ranged from 4th grade to high school. Her love for children and their attainment of success has made her career an exciting and fulfilling one. Working at St. Patrick’s has allowed her to encourage students to learn life lessons that will benefit them greatly in the future while keeping Christ as their focal point.
When not at school, Sonja enjoys golfing, playing volleyball, landscaping, reading, and spending time with her
