1st Grade Teacher

Hello! My name is Amy Sosnay and I am the first grade teacher. I earned my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from UW-Whitewater. I have a passion for Catholic Education, and am thrilled to be part of the St. Joseph community. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two sons, and three dogs.

5th Grade Teacher

Hello my name is Abrianna Loomis! I am the fifth grade teacher here at St. Joes. Reading and writing are true passions of mine and I strive to encourage all my students to share an interest in reading and language arts because I believe English is the building blocks for all subjects and creative thinking. My students can tell you all about my obsession with Harry Potter, which I use to make my classroom a fun, engaging and creative environment for learning. My love for education extends beyond my classroom and into my personal life as I continue to be a student myself looking to complete my Masters in Elementary Education in the Spring of 2020. Before moving into full time teaching I worked three years in special education with RUSD, transitioning into KUSD as a long term substitute before finding my place here.

My husband and I have three children and are very active in the community with our non-profit, small business and involvement with St. Catherine's football and wrestling programs. In our spare time we enjoy traveling with our children, movie nights, hosting fires for s’mores at our house and game nights. Outside of the classroom I am most in my element when I am working with our non profit, baking with my daughter, writing with my oldest, helping my middle son keep his football stats or discussing his real world connections to things he has learned, painting in my studio or during Harry Potter marathons with my husband.

I am blessed to have found my place here at St. Joe’s. The community here between the families and the staff is one that I am proud to be a part of and can't wait to see where it continues to grow.

I look forward to meeting you and your students.

7th Grade Teacher

I am the 7th grade homeroom teacher. I also teach grades 6, 7, and 8 for Mathematics and Literature.

I believe that learning math is an active process and students need to be active participants. Students need to possess and see the real-life value that math offers them. Besides the lecture and practice, students need to experience practical and relatable math skills...and have some fun along the way. I also strongly encourage students to READ! Literacy is extended at school. I want students to be excited about reading, question it, analyze it, discuss it, and, finally, share it with others.

I have been a teacher at St. Joe’s since the 2009-10 school year. But I have been part of this school and parish for much longer than that. All four of my husband’s and my children have attended St. Joe’s. Three have graduated (one college graduate, one currently in college and one in high school) and one is still attending school here.We are strong believers in Catholic School and love the family community at St. Joe’s. When not at school, we like to attend our children’s sporting events, watch movies and sports, and go out to eat and try new foods.

Library & After Care & Educational Assistant

My name is Jackie Gasparov and I’m excited to be starting my second year at St. Joe’s as the library aide and educational assistant. I can’t wait for your children to see the new library and I am looking forward to sharing a love of reading with them.

Outside of school I enjoy crafting, and together with my husband and son enjoy gardening, travelling, and going to the theatre.

A little bit about me: I graduated from Marquette University with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology in 2015 and my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Cardinal Stritch in 2020.
