Ashley Walchshauser
Ashley and her husband, Kyle have two children. Louise is in 3rd grade in Miss Patterson's class and Anders is in 2nd grade in Mrs. Clayton's class. Ashley details her path to COA “We originally started out in the public school district when Louise was in Kindergarten (2019/2020 school year). Covid happened and we decided to make the switch to Curé of Ars in August of 2020. My husband and I were raised in protestant families but have both felt "the pull" toward Catholicism. God worked His good timing during the pandemic. I went through RCIA last year as my daughter Louise went through her first communion year. My husband Kyle is doing the same this year as Anders nears his first communion. We have absolutely fallen in love with the church and school and cannot imagine our lives in any other way. I am a creative and social person who loves to travel. Spending time with family and friends is the most important to me.”
