Eighth Grade

 

 

          This is my 31st year of teaching in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. I obtained a BS in Education from Chestnut Hill College. I currently teach ILA to grades 7 and 8, which includes reading, writing, and spelling. I also teach social studies and religion to grade 8. This year I am working on helping students improve their writing skills with a main focus on essay test questions. Also, I hope to instill in my students a love of reading and an appreciation of great literature. My years here at CCS have been truly wonderful. The families, students, staff, and faculty are like a family. Having the opportunity to teach here is a blessing. As I have always said, teaching is NOT a job, but a way of life for me.
