Intermediate School
Intermediate Science & Social Studies Teacher

Rebecca Facktor comes to St. Martha after one year of teaching at St. Leonard, where she attended grade school. She went on to Ballard High School where she ran Cross Country and Track. She continued the sport into college at Transylvania University where she graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors in Elementary Education. Rebecca considers herself a lifelong student and is always looking for opportunities to learn new things, through books, experiences, and documentaries. Rebecca is excited to be a part of the St. Martha community!

"I loved being a part of a Catholic Community growing up! I think it is important for students to have that strong community to support their learning and growth."

Q & A with Rebecca Facktor

Highlight of the year:

It’s the year of COVID, so the highlight has been the day we found out that we got to go back to in-person instruction!

Passion:

My passion is for students to see the important roles that they can play in their community. Incorporating the things that they learn in all subjects and applying it to their life.

Favorite part of teaching:

My favorite part of teaching is when students get excited about what they are learning. I love when that excitement grows into more curiosity that then encourages students to take charge of their learning. 

Favorite thing about St. Martha:

I love that St. Martha welcomed me with open arms. I love the support from the staff and the families!

My hope for my students:

My hope for my students is that they gain confidence in the special skills that they have.

Fun fact:

I love to travel! My favorite places that I have been are Israel, Spain, and Rocky Mountain National Park!

Neighborhood School

"Our family initially picked St Martha due to it being a private school in our neighborhood, we’re not Catholic. We didn’t know anyone but I had heard good things.

The staff is top notch and the boys can’t wait to go to school everyday!"

Our Teachers Go Above and Beyond

"It is a wonderful feeling knowing that the faculty and staff of St. Martha want your child to succeed just as much as you do as their parent. If I ever have a concern, or for that matter my child has a concern about something they don’t understand, they are provided with extra support until they are able to master the skill being taught. Our teachers go above and beyond!"

The Drive…It’s Worth It!

"We drive over 30 minutes each way to get to St. Martha - and it's worth it! We grateful to have found a community of loving, courageous, helpful, kind, genuine people to help us raise our babies - and we're not going anywhere. After 3 years of preschool and with our oldest now in Kindergarten - we know we're where we belong.
A deciding factor and one of the greatest benefits to our family is that SMS offers after school care AND summer care - that are run by SMS staff. My kiddo is in the same place, with people she knows, all year and its priceless!"

No Worries At All!

"My daughter became a Shamrock in 7th grade, and my biggest worry as a parent was if she would feel like part of the school community. I shouldn’t have worried AT ALL. She has said multiple times that the students have been so wonderfully welcoming to her that she feels like she’s been at St. Martha since kindergarten. It’s been an amazing transition for her and we are so thankful for everyone who’s been part of her school experience at St. Martha - her new friends, teachers, school staff, and the St. Martha families. It’s never too late to find your perfect school!"
