My name is Mary Ludwig and I'm so excited to start my first year as an Academic Interventionist at Sacred Heart. I grew up in Indianola and graduated from there in 2006. I then went to Loras College and graduated in 2010 with a degree in Elementary Education and an Endorsement in Special Education Instructional Strategist 1. I went on to teach Special Education in Des Moines for 5 years. During that time, I got my Masters of Science of Education. I also got an Endorsement in Special Education for Strategist 2 for students with behavioral and learning disabilities. After having my first son, Parker, I stayed home with him and then had another boy, John. I was so excited when the opportunity to come to work for Sacred Heart through West Des Moines Schools, working with students with Individualized Education Plans for the past two years. Parker is a third grader and John is in kindergarten at Sacred Heart. It is a joy to see growth and confidences boost through the wonderful interactions with students at Sacred Heart!
