Dieterich Unit #30 is excited to announce the addition of Pam Faller to our elementary staff as a sixth grade teacher! Here is a short bio from Mrs. Faller.
Hello. I am Mrs. Pam Faller and I’m looking forward to teaching sixth grade at Dieterich Elementary School this year. Here are a few tidbits about me... I grew up on a farm in Jasper County and graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Middle School Mathematics. Later, I earned my Master’s degree in Elementary Education from Western Illinois University. While this will be my first year at Dieterich, it will not be my first year teaching sixth grade. I have enjoyed teaching sixth grade for ten years.
My husband, Dave, and I have four crazy kids, ages 11, 8, 5 and 2. They keep us hopping, but we wouldn’t want it any other way! We have lived in the North Pointe Subdivision in Dieterich for twelve years and are proud to call Dieterich our home. In addition to teaching, I love spending time with family and friends, playing games and going on golf cart rides and walks.
look forward to having the privilege of teaching your child.
Together, we will continue to work toward growth and high student achievement.
