"Welcome to my web page! I hope you find it informative and helpful. If there is anything you would like to see me add to my web page, please let me know."
Mrs. Sheryl Kremer heralds from Columbus, Ohio, where she attended St. Agatha Elementary and Bishop Watterson High Schools. She came to Louisville to pursue her Bachelor of Arts degree in Math (High School Certification) at Bellarmine University (which was then a mere “College”). Years later she earned her Master of Arts in Technology Education degree from Spalding University. Mrs. Kremer taught Algebra I & II and Geometry at Sacred Heart Academy for two years, then took eight years off to start a family, before landing and sticking at St. Gabriel, in 1986. She is the technology coordinator / computer teacher for grades Pre-K-8, and the Honors Algebra I instructor for high school credit for one class of eighth graders each year. Since arriving at St. Gabriel, Mrs. Kremer has taken a very active role in the community, having served as a parish lector & Eucharistic minister; the parish summer picnic chicken dinner head cook; the PTSO Halloween chili & spaghetti suppers head cook; a Girl Scout Assistant Leader and Cookie Chair; the PTSO Vice-President, Faculty Rep and Card Party Chair; the editor of “The Herald”, the once-school newsletter; a member of the parish’s most recent Building Committee; a St. Gabriel Volleyball coach for grades 5/6 and 7/8; the SHINE School Coordinator and a SHINE Instructor, the Faculty Rep on the School Board from its inception until 2007; the Quick Recall Coach / Moderator for the teams at Grades 4/5, and 6; a member of the Algebra & Technology Curriculum Committees for the Archdiocese; involved in various roles in Governor’s Cup, Judge’s Cup and the Derby Classic Festival; and a Computer Merit Badge instructor for the Boy Scouts. Currently she still remains quite active at both the local and Archdiocesan levels as a member of the Technology Steering Committee for the parish; a member of the School Technology Coordinators & Algebra Committees for the Archdiocese and the Web Page Administrator for the school portion of the St. Gabriel web site. Awards include writing the grant proposal that named St. Gabriel a "SMART School" for which we received $30,000 worth of hardware and software related to SMART Boards, receiving the CEF Teacher Award for St. Gabriel School in 2005, which included a $500 gift for the school, a $3,000 and a $5,000 Louisville Community Foundation Grant (now Aegon) one to purchase a SMART Board and TI-84 graphing software for the Honors Algebra program, and one to fund a program on robotics, an Apple Core Good Will Ambassador Grant, a Bellsouth Net Day Grant which helped wire the school building with CAT/5 wiring, an Archdiocesan Fund for Excellence Grant worth over $60,000 which enabled all 8th graders to have a Pocket PC at their disposal for both personal and school use, and a Woodrow Wilson Foundation Grant. She attends the IFL (Imagine the Future of Learning) yearly, and has traveled extensively to attend or present at various conferences including: the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) Conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Los Angeles, CA, and New Orleans, Louisiana; the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in San Antonio, Texas; the Texas Instrument T3 Institute for Algebra, in Columbus, Ohio; and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) workshop in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sheryl and her husband, Dan, are members of St. Gabriel parish. Recently they welcomed her parents to Louisville from Columbus, Ohio, and they also became parishioners. Sheryl's mother, Mary Spall, volunteers in the school office every day to assist with medication dispensing and injury repairs from the playground. The students know her as "Grandma Medicine". The Kremer's three grown children, Laura (Class of 1993), Neil (Class of 1995) and Krissy (Class of 1997) are all shining products of St. Gabriel School and catholic high school educations. All graduated from college, two with teaching certifications in music ed and special ed, and the third with a degree in IT. Laura is married to David Kline and has one son, Keegan. She received her Master's degree from U of L, and is employed by Assumption High School in the public relations department; Neil is married to Tasha Thacker, has a daughter, Chloe, and is working for Humana in the IT department. Krissy is married to Jeff Lee, and has a daughter Kaia, who is attending St. Gabriel. She is working on her Master's degree in counseling at IUSE, and teaches special needs in Jefferson County. While “free” time can be scarce, Sheryl enjoys reading on her Kindle, cooking, especially when entertaining friends and family, and relaxing on the water or in the family home at Barren River. Says Sheryl, “I truly love what I do. I get up every morning looking forward to teaching Algebra and computers at St. Gabriel. In choosing a profession, I think teaching chose me rather than the other way around, and I couldn’t be happier! My husband says I’ll never retire; that they’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming from this place. . . He may be right.” Parents!!
