ALL SAINTS - Key Persons
Hello, my name is Ashley Kremer. I attended Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa, where I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I also have endorsements in Reading for K-8th and Coaching. This year is my 4th year of teaching, all of which have been here at All Saints School. I enjoy teaching at a Catholic School, having attended Catholic School when I was in elementary school. I love being able to express my faith and help students to grow in their own faith. I am blessed to teach at All Saints School and be part of a school family that is supportive, encouraging, and loving.
Hello, my name is Matthew Reitzel. I am an alumnus of All Saints, as well as the Xavier Catholic School System. This is my third year teaching at All Saints. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Elementary Education and am currently pursuing a Masters degree at the University of Iowa for Teaching, Leadership, and Cultural Competencies with a focus in STEM education. I am currently serving in the Iowa Army National Guard with the 186th Military Police Company as a commissioned officer, assigned with being a platoon leader.
My name is Alison Prentice, and I am a kindergarten teacher at All Saints school. I graduated from college with a Kindergarten-primary education degree in 2000. Following my graduation I took some time off to focus on my family and was a stay at home mom for 16 years. During this time my husband and I focused our attention on volunteering at All Saints to support the education of our three children who are currently enrolled in the Xavier school system. We continue to volunteer at church and school when our schedules allow. Following my time at home I was offered a job at All Saints and found my calling in the classroom. At All Saints, I am able to incorporate my Catholic values and high academic expectations daily. My students are encouraged to see the world as God intended with open minds, kind hearts, and a desire to work to the best of their abilities. All Saints is a home to me in many ways and I am blessed to be a part of this wonderful community.
