About The Teacher
As I begin my eighteenth year in education I am happy to be the Director at the Norwalk Catholic School Early Childhood Center. In my previous years as a teacher I have worked with the very young (3, 4 and 5 year-old children), as well as junior and senior high school students. No matter what the age of my students, one of the best parts of my work is being with the children. As I begin my second year as the Director, I bring 17 years of teaching experience and over 26 years of parenting. I bring degrees and licenses that have prepared me to begin this season in my life. As the Director I am very happy to be able to work in cooperation with the parents, teachers and other administrators in the Norwalk Catholic School system. I have been married for 29 years to my husband Tom and we have three children. Our daughter Mary is married to Adam Endsley and lives in suburban Cleveland; she is a 1st grade teacher. Our son John has begun his first year of teaching at Hilton Head Preparatory School in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina as a 5th grade teacher. Our youngest son, Brian, is a sophomore at the University of Cincinnati majoring in sports administration. All of our children are graduates of St. Paul High School. When I'm not working I enjoy reading, scrapbooking and walking. Tom and I also enjoy dining out and attending sport events. I consider my work to be ministry - not a job or a career. Working with the children, parents, teachers and administrators is challenging at times, but also a joy. As ministry, teaching and being an administrator becomes a way to form community, share the Gospel and to help others grow as children of God. I have many hopes and dreams for the Early Childhood Center. First, I hope that I may be a positive influence on the children, parents, and staff as we work together to make these early years of school a happy experience for everyone. I hope to do this by making the ECC a welcoming place and through good communication. Another dream is that our school will reflect its Catholic identity in all that we do and say. In the halls of the school hang several pictures of Jesus with children. These pictures serve as a reminder that Jesus loves all of us. As a staff, we meet together weekly for prayer and we continue to teach prayers to the children as well as pray at all times during the school day. I also dream that the Early Childhood Center will be a place of peace as we help the children to grow to be all that God wants them to be. The ECC is a great place that will grow through hard work and many prayers.
