Susan Sandeen is Head Teacher. Sue grew up in Monticello, IA. In 1970, she graduated from St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN with a B.A. in elementary education. A year later she married her college sweetheart, Eric Sandeen. Sue proceeded to live and teach in all the states with a capital "I": Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Idaho, and Rhode Island! In 1982 the Sandeens moved to Laramie and Sue taught 5th graders at St. Laurence. In 1991, she earned a M.A. in curriculum and instruction at UW and returned to St. Laurence to teach 6th graders. Besides the "I" states, Eric and Sue have lived in Germany, Denmark, and Ireland. She has served on the St. Laurence Parish Council and the Wyoming Board of Religious Education. Sue is presently a Eucharistic Minister and member of the 5:30 Saturday night choir at St. Laurence Parish.

Sue: "I am honored to teach students at St. Laurence School. It is a joy to pass on my Catholic heritage through our rich church traditions. Because I have been fortunate to live abroad, I bring a global perspective to my students and share my experiences with them. I enjoy calligraphy, current events, traveling, cooking, reading historical fiction, and doing counted cross-stitch. Now I am very proud to introduce my colleagues."
