Hi!
I am Mrs. Jean Bangert and I’m excited to be teaching Kindergarten at ORLS! I graduated from Concordia-Wisconsin with an A.A. and from Concordia-Chicago with a B.A. in elementary education. I have extensive post graduate credits in early childhood and various subjects. My husband, Dave, is the Executive Director at Dallas Lutheran School. In our free time, we love to travel. We have two married sons and are blessed to be the grandparents of four little ones. Family is so important and we try to see ours often. I have taught Prek-4 through 5th grade, but have taught Kindergarten the majority of my teaching career and enjoy it the most.
