changes to the KCSS website, and updating the weekly news information. I graduated from Neenah High School. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in
Elementary Education at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with a minor in social science.
I started in the KCSS system in 2007 as a teachers aide/paraprofessional. During the summer I teach
kindergarten readiness in Appleton. I currently live in Neenah with my husband David. I enjoy traveling, hiking,
playing tennis, camping, backpacking ( when the bears are still sleeping), and
reading. I have not been to very many places
in the United States or Wisconsin, so my husband and I have started a list of
all the places we would like to see. However, I have traveled to Mexico, and
Jamaica twice.

My name is Miss Judy Rogers. I am beginning my 30th year of teaching with the
start of the 2007-2008 school year. I taught fifth grade, for 26 years, at St.
Aloysius School in Kaukauna. Then when more grades were sent to Holy Cross I
taught fourth grade for one year and then moved on to my current position of
Learning Specialist/Computer Teacher. I also do a whole lot of picture taking
for the school.
I have a business Degree from Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin. I
received my Education Degree from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh.
I grew up in River Forest, Illinois in a family of seven children. Being from
the Chicago area is one reason why I am a very big Chicago Cubs Fan. I am still
waiting for them to make it into the World Series in my lifetime. I like to
incorporate sports into my teaching lessons.
