Let me tell you a little about myself:
This is my fourth year at BPJ, but I have taught various grades in Catholic
Schools for more than twenty five years. Before BPJ, I taught at Our Lady of
Lourdes for 18 years, preceded by several years at Saint Catherine's and
Saint Mary's, both in Elizabeth.
Since I stongly believe in the value of a Christian foundation in school, I
have chosen to teach in Catolic schools. Thankfully, my husband has always
supported my desire to do so.
I am certified in both elementary education (K-8) and Reading (K-12)
My husband and I reside in West Orange and have a twenty-six year old
daughter who is also on staff at BPJ.
My hobbies include reading, working on crafts, listening to music and
traveling, most recently to Alaska,last summer.
I can be reached at school or by email at: BPJGrade8@gmail.com
The mission for this eighth grade is simple:
1. to both enable and allow each of us to grow, achieve, and excel in
academic, social and spiritual areas
2. to show respect to all who enter our room
3. to be responsible for ourselves as individuals as well as a class
3. to accept everyone as they are
