About Ms. Desmond and Mrs. Leedy

Deanna Desmond: I have been teaching for 21 years and I am 
delighted to be your teacher this year.  I am a graduate of Southeastern 
Louisiana University and I have a Master's degree in School and Family 
Counseling.  Though I very much enjoy the conseling field, I am not yet ready 
to leave my classroom because I enjoy teaching and love to see the growth my 
students make each year.  I began my teaching career teaching fourth grade at 
Mandeville Middle, then I moved here to Tchefuncte when we opened.  It has 
been my pleasure to teach both fourth and fifth grade here.

I am the proud mother of two beautiful daughters.  My 8 year old is in third 
grade and my 5 year old is in Kindergarten at Pontchartrain Elementary.   
Both girls love to dance, sing and play dolls.  In my free time I love 
reading and scrapbooking.   As a family, we love to travel and believe that 
the next adventure is just around the corner.  We love playing together 
and feel that family time is the most important time!

Sherry Leedy: This will be my 18th year of having the best job in the world, 
teaching children. I began my teaching career in Jefferson Parish where I 
taught sixth grade for 9 years before moving to the northshore in 2003. I was 
so excited to become part of Tchefuncte Middle School's faculty during the 
2003-2004 school year. Gators are Awesome!

My husband, Stephen, and I have been married for 16 years and have a 
beautiful seven year old daughter. Brianne keeps us busy, laughing, and 
definitely up-to-date on fairies & princesses! My hobbies 
are scrapbooking and going to the movies.
