Hi and welcome to Buder! My name is Jamie Dubbs and this is my 17th year teaching!  I have previously taught Pre-Kindergarten and 1st grade. I graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. My husband and I have two little boys and an English bulldog named Bucky! When I’m not at school, I love to spend time outside with my family and trying new recipes! I am so excited to meet you and we are going to learn so much this year!

 

Dr. Katie Gipperich
Reading Specialist

This is my 27th year in the Ritenour School District.  I taught Head Start two years prior to that. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with my Bachelor’s degree and from SIUE with my Master’s degree and Maryville with my doctorate.

I grew up in Iowa and moved to St. Louis 28 years ago. In my free time I enjoy reading and watching netflix as well as taking motorcycle rides with my husband.  I am active with the animal rescue group called Partners 4 Pets.  So, you may hear your child coming home and talking about Dr. Gipperich’s dogs.

I am Brittany Moseby!

This is my 6th year teaching and I previously taught in Hazelwood and Ferguson-Florissant School Districts. I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education with an Emphasis on Special Education. I am currently enrolled in the Masters Program for Cross Categorical Disabilities at UMSL.



Family is very important to me and I am really close with my family! I have 2 brothers; one older and one younger, 3 nephews, my mom (my best friend!), and my sister-in-love! The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies and Ariel is my favorite Disney Princess. Disney and Marvel are my favorite movies to watch and talk about! At heart, I am a big kid and the kids can sense that so I always become really close with my kiddos!
