My name is Beth Crites, and I’m excited to say that this is my 17th year teaching Kindergarten. I have loved being part of the Saints Joachim and Ann school community teaching Kindergarten for the last 3 years. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from University of St. Louis. I have a Masters of Education in Reading and a certification in gifted education from Maryville University. I began my teaching career at Holy Trinity, another Archdiocesan school. Currently, I live in Saint Peters with my husband, Peter, two daughters, Gianna and Lilly and son, Ryan. My daughters both attend Sts. Joachim and Ann. I enjoy reading, sewing and crafting, watching movies, and spending time with my family!
