Ms. Penny Steinke » School Faculty

Hi!  My name is Penny Steinke and I am so excited to be a part of St. Matthias!

I grew up in Waukesha and attended St. Mary’s for grade school and St. Joseph’s for middle school. I have about 20 years of teaching experience mostly in 5K.  I earned National Board Certification in 2006 and re-certified in 2017.

My Mission Statement:

• I want my students to become life-long learners.
• I am committed to providing a safe, positive and supportive learning environment for my students where they will learn and become successful members of society.
• I believe education is successful through collaboration, teamwork and communication.
• Reading is very important in my life and I try to instill my love and passion for reading in my students.
• I want my students to enjoy coming to school every day.

I am a cat mom to Nala & Ducky.  My favorite hobby is playing horseshoes.  I travel with my dad and many friends across the United States to compete in tournaments year-round.  Other hobbies include writing, crafting, reading, watching Wisconsin sports (especially the Bucks!) and watching movies.

My favorite part of the school day is teaching young people about God.  I thank God that He brought me to this school and community.  I am very blessed!
