Meet Mrs. Sheila

---

I have lived in Milford, Ohio for 13 years with my husband, Dave.  We have two energetic and crazy boys: Sam, almost 13, and Ben, 11.  We are members of St. Andrew Parish and active in the SASEAS school community as well.  After spending 12 years as a Coordinator of Catholic Youth Ministry, working with Jr. and Sr. High youth, I took time off to spend full time with our boys.  Both of our boys attended Seton Preschool, for a combined total of 5 years, and it was a wonderful, educational and fun experience for both of them.  I love working with children of all ages, and joining the staff of Seton Preschool has been a blessing.  After 2 years as an assistant to Mrs. Krystal,   I am now the Lead Teacher in the Tuesday/Thursday, 4 year old classroom.   

 I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy in May 1999. I loved working as an Occupational Therapist, primarily in a school setting, for 5 years. I have been married for 18 years to my husband, Jon, and we have been active members of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish since then. Jon is currently serving as a member of the Student Advisory Council(SAC) and the Futures Committee at SASEAS School.  After the arrival of our first child, I was blessed to be able to stay home to raise our children, Noah (17), Hannah (15), Zachary (13), and Andrew (10). All of our children have attended Seton preschool and two are currently still attending our wonderful grade school, Saint Andrew - Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton!

I have been actively involved in both our preschool and grade school community since our oldest first started here in 2007.  I loved teaching and assisting in the growth and development of my own children throughout their early years and have enjoyed carrying over my passion into the preschool setting for the last 5 years!

Hello! My name is Erica Mailloux (Ms. Erica) and I’ll be your child’s lead teacher this year. I live in Milford, Ohio and have been a parishioner at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Andrew the Apostle churches for most of my life. I recently graduated from Marian University where I majored in Education and History and minored in Pastoral Leadership. I also just spent my summer as a camp counselor for CYO Camp Rancho Framasa, a Catholic youth camp in Nashville, Indiana inspired by St. John Bosco and his teachings. I have a love for children and youth of all ages and am passionate about helping them see themselves as beloved children of God and helping them to learn and grow into the best people they can be. I can’t wait to meet you all soon!   

My name is Renee Hardesty and I am so excited to be the assistant teacher in your child's classroom this year!  This will be my second year working in the 4yr old classroom.  I live in Milford and am a parishioner at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church.  I have four children, two who have graduated from SASEAS, and two who are currently enrolled in the school.  It has been a great experience to be able to work in the same school that they love so much.  I'm looking forward to meeting you and your child very soon!  Welcome to the SASEAS family! 

 Hello!  My name is Mrs. Kate.  This is my 6th year at Seton Preschool and my first year teaching the 4 year old 5 day class.  I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Miami University in Music Education and my Master’s degree from Xavier University in Multi-Age Education.  I taught elementary music education for 9 years before deciding to stay home with my daughters.  When my youngest daughter graduated from Seton Preschool I was offered a job as an assistant teacher and I have been here ever since!  My husband Matt and I met at Miami University on  the marching band field and we were married in 2003.  Matt teaches music at Deer Park City Schools and is currently the choir director for grade 6-12.  My oldest daughter Meredith is a sophomore at Deer Park High School and sings in her dad’s women’s choir.  My daughter Lauren is going into 7th grade at SASEAS and plays volleyball, and my youngest daughter Natalie is going into 5th grade and enjoys musical theater and singing.  Lauren and Natalie both attended Seton Preschool and all three girls have attended SASEAS School.  I enjoy crafting, quilting, volunteering at various animal shelters, and watching my daughters play volleyball.  I have 3 cats (Rosie, Patches, and Nacho) and I’m obsessed with planning my next trip to Disney World.  I’m so excited to meet everyone and start a fabulous new school year.  See you soon!  

Hello! My name is Renata Fuhrman. I am originally from the Czech Republic and have been in the United States over 20 years. June 2018 was a very exciting time for me and my family as I became an American Citizen. My husband, Chris (who grew up in the area), our son Ryan, and I live in Milford. Ryan really enjoyed his 2 years in Seton's preschool classes and our family loved the many creative ways his teachers made learning so much fun. Our family is very excited that Ryan will continue his education this coming year in SEAS' Second Grade. In the years before joining the staff at Seton, it was my job to be a stay-at-home mom. When Ryan was ready to enter school, the opportunity to be part of this parish and awesome school opened for me. My roles have been as a teacher's assistant in classes for both 3 & 4 year olds, as well as working with the Lunch Bunch kids and the afternoon PEDAL program. I love children, and seeing them smile makes me happy and is priceless. I can't wait to meet your little ones and am super excited to learn, play, and explore with them!
