Streicher, Beth - Individual Education Teacher
About Me
I grew up in the Waukegan/Gurnee area and continue to live nearby. I am in my tenth year of teaching in this position at Viking and my 7th year as head Softball Coach for Viking.
I graduated from Illinois State University with an undergraduate degree in Social Work. I continued my studies at Northeastern University in Chicago where I earned a graduate degree in Special Education.
My lovely husband, Nick, and I have been married for 19 years. He also teaches at Viking - 8th grade Science/Athletic director. We have two wonderful children, a senior and sophomore in high school. Our energetic dog, Brookie, is a Husky/Retriever mix.
I enjoy watching our children participate in sports, reading, running, listening to podcasts, and playing miniature golf with my family.

MONTHLY UPDATE
Awesome August
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year. 6Red is looking forward to a fantastic year full of adventure. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
6th graders will be adjusting to Middle School and all the new information. Please be patient with your child and teachers. Transitions can cause big emotions at first, but students tend to adjust as time progresses.
Fall Sports start August 24th and 6th graders can participate in Girls Softball (My favorite), Soccer, and Cross-Country. Make sure you get a physical as soon as possible. You will need this to participate.
Here are a few questions you can ask your middle schooler to get the conversation started:
What was the best part of your day?
What was the most challenging part of your day?
Tell me about one of your friends.
What do your friends bring for lunch?
Did you meet anyone new?
What’s the funniest thing that happened today?
What do your friends do after school?
How can I help you?
Is there anything you want me to know?
