About The Teacher

I am a graduate of Duquesne University with a Bachelor's in Elementary & 
Special Education.  I have been teaching in the Diocese of Pittsburgh for 9 
years.  This will be my seventh year at St. Bernard's.  I am delighted to be 
teaching sixth grade again this year.  

I live at home with my husband (Dave), daughter (Kimberlin), and cat
(Lucky).  Some of my favorite things are: cats, kangaroos, the color 
pink, Tinker Bell, "The Wizard of Oz," and reading books.  

I feel privileged to be working with so many students of various 
backgrounds, and I enjoy spreading God's Good News!

Mission for the Class - 2008-2009

This year I will be teaching 6th Grade.  I believe sixth graders need to be 
given various opportunities for independent learning.  Sixth grade is the 
year that students begin to develop their own identities.  It is a crucial 
year in developing organizational skills and life long habits. Throughout 
the year, students will grow mentally, physically, emotionally, and 
spiritually.  A good teacher is aware of her students' limitations, but not 
afraid to offer a good challenge.
