Hello, My name is Michelle Pralle.  I earned my Education Degrees at Kansas State University. (Go Cats!)  I have been teaching for 35 years and this is my 31st year at St. Patrick. St. Patrick has become my extended family over these wonderful years.  This year  I am very excited to return to the Middle School and teach Science and Math. 

This summer I was blessed with a wonderful opportunity to travel to the Holy Land.  I had the privilege to walk on the paths that Jesus traveled and visit many of the places that he taught, prayed, and lived.  One of my favorite places that I visited in the Holy Land was where the Visitation took place, Elizabeth home.  My confirmation  name is Elizabeth, so she has always been special to me.  This trip to the Holy Land brought brought the Gospels to life for me.  I hope that I will be able to share this excitement with my students.  I am very thankful for being able to have had this spiritual experience. One of my favorite quotes is: You never know what YOU can do until you TRY.
