Sr.
Bernadette Schvach, BVM is
a
self-professed Odilo “old-timer,” having taught second through
fourth grades for 38 years. She began her education in Iowa before
earning her BA from Mundelein College. She also holds a Master’s
Degree in Education as a Reading Specialist from Cardinal Stritch
University. Sister Bernadette has studied or taught in Illinois,
Iowa, Colorado, Hawaii and even India. She has chosen to stay at St.
Odilo though because she has never found a place that has more appeal
as an education institution. “The atmosphere, faculty and
parishioners have made it a home-like and friendly arena in which to
work.” Sister Bernadette expects the best of her students and
demands that work be completed and well done. She balances this high
standard with fun and creative projects that encourage students to
work with various media.
