Hello! I am Alicia Judernatz or Mrs. J and I'm so excited for our 2024-2025 school year at Thomas Elementary! I went to Wayne State College and received my undergraduate degree in elementary education. Then went on to get my graduate degree at UNO. This will be my fourth year with Gretna Public Schools. I have been teaching for 19 years. Most of those years were in first and third grades.
When I am not here at school, you can probably find me hanging out with my husband, Dan, and my three children, Carter-15, Lilly-11, and Piper-9. We love to play with our Ausiedoodle, Ruby. We also spend time baking, camping, swimming, watching movies, reading, playing board games, and laughing a lot!
I can't wait to help our students find books that they love! We are going to have a fantastic year!
Hi, my name is Kim Mahrt. This is my second year working at Thomas but we have been a Thomas family since 2016. My husband, Justin, and I have three boys and they will be in 7th grade, 4th grade, and 2nd grade this year. We also have a goofy springerdoodle named Macie that we all love to tell stories about. In my free time I like to spend time with my family, read, travel, and work on house projects with my husband. Before having kids and when my oldest son was little, I worked for a non-profit book publisher doing design and advertising. I'm happy to be back working with books and look forward to getting to know all of our wonderful students!
