Instructional Aide

Hello! I am Mrs. Zambo. Welcome to St Francis’ Kinder Krew. In my classroom, children will encounter the wonder and excitement of learning through the expansion and exploration of academics and faith. 

My kindergarten teacher instilled my love of learning at the early age of 5. She told me that I could be anything that I wanted to be, and I knew I wanted to be just like her by teaching kindergarten. I followed my passion, set off on my journey, and received an educational degree in Early Childhood Education from Southwest Missouri State University (Missouri State University). Immediately following graduation, I was hired to teach at St Francis of Assisi.

My husband and I have two children who keep us very busy. Logan is entering his sophomore year at St. John Vianney High School, and Maya will be finishing her last year as an 8th grader at St Francis. Throughout the weeks and weekends, we spend our time cheering on our kids on the baseball fields and the volleyball courts.

For the last twenty years, our family has been part of the St. Francis community through both the school and parish. We enjoy spending time with our friends, who have become more like family. I pray that you, too, see the love that St. Francis has to offer. SFA is truly a family!

Hi! I'm Mrs. Loscheider, and this is my second year working as an instructional aide at SFA. I enjoy working with the students to meet them where they are in their learning.

I have a degree in English writing and worked in marketing for 10 years before I was fortunate enough to stay at home with my kids. I've volunteered at SFA since my oldest child started here 11 years ago. I started substitute teaching after my son started SFA preschool and discovered how much I loved working with the students.

My husband and I have four kids. One is an SFA alum, and the other three currently attend SFA. We're usually busy with the kids' activities, but we enjoy playing board games in our free time.

As a mom, I knew that SFA teachers cared about their students. Working here has shown me how much all teachers and staff work together to help the students. Everyone wants the students to be their best!
