I am Anne Elizabeth Pape.....

I grew up in Lincoln, the 10th in a family of 11 children. I am lucky to have had 2 amazing parents who taught us to love much, work hard and in all things love, trust and glorify God. Those lessons have helped me through some very difficult times in my life, including brain cancer.  After graduating from high school, I went to UNL where I met my future husband, Jerry.  We were married in 1984.  We have lived in Colorado, South Dakota and Nebraska.  We have 3 fantastic children, Jack, Ben and Claire.  I've taught many different grade levels and subjects including K-3 Library and Computer classes, 6th grade, 5-8 Reading, 8th grade American History, Reading and Language Arts, and my favorite - - 4th grade!  I also worked and traveled as an Education Trainer for Boys Town (which is where I taught 8th grade).  In addition to spending time with my family, I love to read, write, and run.  I also enjoy travelling and history.  I am honored to teach my little gems, and every year I become very attached to them!  Thank you for trusting me with your children!  

"I can do something you cannot do.  
You can do something I cannot do.  
Together, let us do something beautiful for the Lord!"
