8th Grade

Welcome to 8th Grade!

My name is Stacia Baer and I am the 8th grade homeroom English Language Arts teacher.  I have been married to my husband, Bret for 22 years.  We have 2 children, Jacob, 22, and Addyson, who will be a sophomore at Hayden this fall.  We live in Topeka where we both attend elementary through high school.  I graduated from Washburn University in 2013 with a degree in English with an emphasis in secondary education.  

Reading and writing have always been my loves.  When my children were young, I worked for many years as a para with struggling readers.  It was while doing this job that I found I also loved working with kids, so I went back to school and finished my degree.  I have spend the past seven years working as a 7th grade English Language Arts teacher in Holton, Kansas.  I am very excited about working at Holy Family as both of my children attended Catholic schools for their entire school careers.  

Outside of school, I love to spend time with my family, watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play football, cheer on the Nebraska Cornhuskers and of course, read a book!
