Meet one of St. Thomas Aquinas new teachers!

St. Thomas Aquinas is thrilled to have Mrs. Sadler back teaching kindergarten again. She previously taught Kindergarten at St. Thomas for 27 years and is returning after a short break from teaching. She deeply missed the St. Thomas students, staff and families and is excited to return. Mrs. Sadler has two sons who both live in Ankeny. She lives with her husband and three dogs in Ankeny as well. She loves to read, shop, listen to live music, walk and run. We are so happy to have such an amazing teacher come back to our team!
