Ms. Cathie Wiesler

Hello.  My name is Cathie Wiesler and I have recently received my Library Media Specialist certificate from the University of Missouri-Columbia.  This is my second year as the librarian at McCurdy Elementary and my 25th year teaching in the Hazelwood School District.  Prior to becoming the librarian, I taught first, second, and third grade.
 
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I also love visiting my family's property in Lesterville, Missouri on the Black River.  I have two dogs and two cats. I am also the primary caretaker of our Pekin Duck at McCurdy named Oscar.  My hobbies include attending St. Louis Cardinal baseball games, traveling, horseback riding, and collecting rocks.

Mr. Charles Combs

My name is Charlie Combs, and this is my third year teaching music at McCurdy. I was born in St. Louis but grew up in Ohio, where I taught for eight years. I have a Bachelor’s from THE Ohio State University (where I was in the marching band for two years) and a Master’s from Capital University. I try to stay musically active outside of school by singing in my church’s choir and by playing my trombones, recorders, and ocarina. I also enjoy reading, swimming, video games, and learning Latin.
