My name is Laurie Pierce, and I am a 2nd Grade teacher.  I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from DePaul University.  I have been teaching for 25 years.  Ten of those years have been at St. Hubert Catholic School.  I believe every classroom presents a unique community of learners with varied abilities and learning styles.  My role as an educator is to give the students the tools with which to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge so that every child can feel capable and experience success.
