KPLR 11 honors local teachers with our Tools for Teachers program presented by Weber Chevrolet.

I’d like to nominate Katie Lakebrink and Christy Huettenmeyer, Studio 3 (third grade) teachers at the new innovative elementary school in the Mehlville School District, MOSAIC. MOSAIC is an acronym for Mehlville Oakville Students Achieve Imagine Create.

MOSAIC Elementary opened in August for the 2017-18 school year in the 95 year-old former St. John’s Elementary school building located across the street from the Mehlville High campus on Will Avenue in South St. Louis County.

Mrs. Lakebrink and Mrs. Huettenmeyer and their families spent countless hours over the summer preparing their co-teaching classrooms (Studio 3) in this historic building to create a colorful (teal and lime green) and welcoming environment. It wasn’t unusual for Mrs. Huettenmeyer to have her children in tow, sometimes sleeping in the corner of the classroom room, when painting until 1:30 a.m.
