About

My name is Mandy (Schoellhorn) Borgmeyer.  I am 39 years old.  I have an amazing mother and father, 3 unique brothers and a sister who doubles as my best friend.  I moved to Columbia with my family when I was 5.  I attended ICS from Kindergarten all the way through 8th grade.  ICS will always be home.  I graduated from Gibault Catholic High School in 1999 and went on to Saint Louis University shortly after.  I graduated with honors with a degree in Early Childhood Education in 2004.  While at SLU, I met my husband and together we started our life together in St. Louis.  Will is also a teacher at Festus High School.  We were married for 5 years when we were blessed through the adoption of our son, Jack.   When Jack was 10 months old, we found out I was pregnant with Oliver.  Life has never been the same!  I started teaching at ICS in 2005.  I spent one year in the 4th grade and then moved to 1st grade where I have been ever since.  I feel so fortunate that I have had the opportunity to grow as a teacher under the direction of so many outstanding educators.  The teaching profession can be challenging, but I couldn't do anything else.  I knew I wanted to be a teacher in the 2nd grade.  About half-way through the year, I was taking a test and thought to myself, "It would be so great if I could grade the tests instead of take them."  All joking aside, I truly enjoy my job and all the kiddos I have the joy to teach every year.  You have chosen an amazing school for your child and I am blessed to be one of the many people who will challenge, but most importantly LOVE your child!
