Hi! I’m Jordan Biermann. I’m looking forward to going back to my educational roots and beginning my teaching career at SFBGS as the sixth grade homeroom teacher! ! I attended Borgia for 12 years and then went on to Mizzou where I earned my BA in psychology and BA in sociology. After five years of working in the business field, I decided I needed a change in career to something I enjoyed more fully. Thus, I headed back to school and earned my teaching certificate from Central Methodist University while working full time. In the midst of all of this, I found time to marry my husband Nick and we welcomed our first child, a daughter named Delaney. She keeps us laughing and busy all the time and I wouldn’t change anything. The only way to make things better for myself is to begin my teaching journey and I am beyond excited to do this through re-entry into the SFBGS school family. Please never hesitate to ask me questions or just come up to say hi and chat. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! GO KNIGHTS! 
 

Mrs.  Patricia Epple will be returning to the faculty in a different capacity this fall!  She’s been working with children at Borgia as a classroom assistant and long-term substitute teacher for the past couple of years.  This year, she will return to our faculty as one of our fifth grade teachers. Mrs. Epple is a certified teacher, brings years of classroom experience and uses a variety of teaching pedagogical approaches.  Mrs. Epple has three grown sons and eight grandchildren! She enjoys spending time with her family; especially traveling.
