I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I am Patricia Demerath and have been a member of the community for over twenty years. I have had the pleasure of working with young children for over thirty years.  I started in Oswego School District 308 in 2000. I also taught kindergarten, preschool, and family daycare in the Milwaukee area. I earned my undergraduate degree in elementary education as well as in biology at Central Michigan University, and then completed my master’s degree as a reading specialist from the University of St. Francis. It is exciting for me to bring back to the classroom all the things that I have learned, and help my students get off to a great start at school.
