Hi! My name is Andra Hirsch. I graduated from Indiana University with my degree in Elementary Education. I taught Pre-K for one year and 3rd/4th grade for two years before starting our family. I was a stay at home mom until my youngest started school in 2000. I was a first grade teacher for 10 years and have been teaching fifth grade for the last 10 years. My husband and I have been married for 32 years. He is the National Sales Manager for Southwark Metal. He travels a lot!! I have two children. Hailey is my oldest, she is 27. She is a Speech Pathologist and recently got married. Parker is 24. He is finishing up his clinicals to get his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I love to read, sit by the pool, do crafts, shop (Target is my happy place), and go to Starbucks. I love bright colors because they make me feel happy. I love teaching at St. Bartholomew because it feels like a family and the students are great!
