Fifth Grade

FifTH GRADE

Miss Abby Fink

Hello! My name is Abby Fink, and I am very excited to teach fifth grade at St. Luke's this year! I graduated from The University of Northern Iowa in 2021 with a degree in Elementary Education and an endorsement in reading. This will be my second year teaching at Saint Luke, but my first year in 5th grade!

In my free time, I spend time outdoors, hiking, reading, or hanging out by the lake or pool. My family and friends are significant parts of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them whenever possible! I can't wait to meet all of you and look forward to a fantastic school year!

Mrs. Claire Silliman

Hello! My name is Claire Silliman. I graduated from Ankeny High School and have been a parishioner at Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart Catholic Church for many years. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English and a Master of Arts degree in Education from Truman State University while playing volleyball. Go Bulldogs! 

Watching my students grow and thrive in a faith-centered classroom is deeply rewarding for me. I strive to meet each student where they are at while challenging them to improve each day. 

In my free time, I continue to share my passion for volleyball as a coach at Ankeny High School. I love to spend time with friends and family (especially my niece and nephew!), read, and bake.
