Welcome to the St. Bede School year, 2023 - 2024! I am Ms. Eisen and I love my profession! This is now my 26th year teaching. In the past, I have worked at Elm Place Middle School in Highland Park, Kipling Elementary in Deerfield, and 12 years in First, Second and Third grades at Holy Cross Catholic School in Deerfield. This is my 6th year here at St. Bede School. I feel blessed to be teaching here and love being part of the St. Bede Parish family. Second grade is very special to me as I am part of the First Reconciliation and First Communion preparation for my students.
I have raised four wonderful, happily married children and am grandmother to 5 (almost 6) fantastic grandchildren, ages 3 to 13 years old. Life is good!
