• Hi, my name is Kate Furjes and welcome to our Kindergarten classroom! I am looking forward to a school year full of fun learning activities and experiences and I am so excited to be your Kindergarten teacher this school year!

    A little bit more about me... I grew up attending University City Schools here in St. Louis. I began my teaching career in 2007. I attended Webster University for my undergraduate and graduate studies, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education. I have taught in both Kindergarten and Second Grade, but Kindergarten is by far my favorite!

    When I am not teaching, I really enjoy spending time with my husband, son, daughter and stepdaughters at home. Here are a few other fun facts about me:

    • My favorite colors are teal, pink and white.
    • My favorite number is 8.
    • I have two brothers, and one sister.
    • I am the third child in my family. 
    • I enjoy being with my big family. (I am one of 23 grandchildren!)
    • My favorite sport is soccer. 
    • My favorite places to shop are Target and Amazon. 
    • I enjoy eating at St. Louis Bread Company (Panera).
    • I LOVE drinking coffee. :)

    Thanks for visiting!
