My name is Judie Wiebold. This is my 7th year of teaching at St. Pat's middle school. I teach language arts and literature to 8th graders. I also teach a math class when needed and an occasional 6th grade language arts. Reading and writing have always been important and interesting to me, and I try to make them important and interesting to students.
My husband, Ray Wiebold, is a pastor at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in New Richmond. I taught in the Lutheran School system for 30 years prior to moving to Wisconsin. In those years I had taught every grade, but for the past many years I have been at the 7th-8th grade level. Young people of that age are so interesting to me, and I enjoy being with them very much. I have gone to ELC and the Washington trip.
In addition to teaching, I also function as the school counselor. This includes working with individual students and working with whole classrooms. My basic philosphy is that self-esteem comes from achievement, not the other way around. Therefore I work very hard to make sure that each student is successful.
