Hi! My name is Nicole Eberenz, and I am very excited to be an Interventionist at Buder. This is my 10th year in the Ritenour School District.  Previously I spent 7 years teaching ELA and SS at Hoech Middle School.  I am a proud graduate of Ritenour High School, and I absolutely love teaching in the community where I grew up.  

I have been married to my husband Casey for 10 years and we have a son, Troy (3).  My favorite things to do are read, go to the park, and listen to music while spending time on our patio.

Hi Buder Bobcats.  My name is Angela Long and I am a Reading and Math Interventionist at Buder Elementary.  This will be my 29th year of teaching, and 23rd year at Buder.  I have taught special education, grades 3,4,and 5, and been an Interventionist for 11 years.

I have been married to my husband Andy for 24 years. We have two sons, Drew and Adam, and 3 cats!  In my free time I like to read, spend time with family and friends, and shop.

This is my 26th year in the Ritenour School District.  I taught Head Start two years prior to that. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with my Bachelor’s degree and from SIUE with my Master’s degree and Maryville with my doctorate.

I grew up in Iowa and moved to St. Louis 27 years ago. In my free time I enjoy reading and watching netflix as well as taking motorcycle rides with my husband.  I am active with the animal rescue group called Partners 4 Pets.  So, you may hear your child coming home and talking about Dr. Gipperich’s dogs.
