About Ms. Natasha Pajda
My name is Natasha Pajda and I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade this year. I’m so excited to be an 8th grade homeroom teacher!
.
I have attended Catholic schools my entire life and graduated from John Paul II High School (second graduating class). I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Religious Education from St. Edward’s University and my Master’s degree in Catholic School Leadership from St. Louis University. This will be my tenth-year teaching.
In-between my degrees, I was blessed to be able to do a year of service with the Vincentian Mission Corp in St. Louis, MO. During that time, I volunteered at a homeless pregnant women’s shelter called Our Lady’s Inn. St. Louis has some of the best food...toasted ravioli, provel cheese, and gooey butter cake.
I love to read, listen/watch Broadway shows, and talk about anything Disney. My favorite hobbies include building puzzles (especially the 3D ones) and traveling. I have been blessed to travel on two life changing pilgrimages; one to Italy and one to Poland. During these trips, I was able to visit many different Catholic churches, visit the tombs of saints, and eat lots of amazing food. I learned a lot about my Catholic faith and I can’t wait to share my experiences with your children.
