Hi there!

    I am Deborah Mitchell and I've been teaching full time at St. Paul since 2001.  I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an Early Childhood Endorsement from Concordia University at Austin.  I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education Degree in Advanced Literacy, also through Concordia.

    When I'm not in the Preschool classroom, you may find me working in the library or teaching music.  I enjoy working with children and love to share the love of Christ and the joy and hope I have in Him!
