Grade 5 TeacherDear Students, Parents and Guardians,My name is Julia Mead and I will be teaching 5th & 6th Grade Religion and 7th & 8th grade Science again this year at Most Precious Blood. I truly consider it an honor and a privilege to be part of such a vibrant, faith-filled team! This is my 5th year in a school setting but for 25 years prior to that I was involved in instructing/catechizing children from 3 years old through high school.
In college I studied Zoology with Teacher Certification for Grades 6-12 at Eastern Illinois University. However, after graduating God had other plans for me. I was soon married to my husband, Mark, and we began our family and our adventure in parish ministry.
Mark and I have been blessed with five beautiful children and six beautiful grandchildren! Our youngest son is still in the nest and attends Bishop Luers High School. Also ‘in the nest’ are our rescue dogs, Zeke and Rey. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and gardening and I am always looking for opportunities to deepen my knowledge of the Catholic Faith.
Prior to teaching in a classroom setting, I was in ministry in a parish focusing on Family Formation and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS). I am excited to bring the sense of awe and wonder that is foundational to CGS into the realm of both science and religion classes – through which we can begin to know more deeply Our loving Creator. I look forward to assisting the families of Most Precious Blood in the formation of their children, helping them to realize their fullest potential as students, and ultimately, as children of God and His Kingdom!
