I  am always happy to meet  former students, some all grown up with their own families, some just starting life as college students and some visiting from our second, third or fourth grades. 

I have taught in Boston Public Schools and suburban public schools but I  have found the right place in our Catholic school system.  My teaching philosophy follows a quote from Saint Francis of Assisi,

"Start by doing what's necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible." That is what teaching first grade is all about.
