The beginning of a new school year.

I am excited about all of the projects that I will be involved in this year at STJ. I am currently responsible for the "Tuck Shop" along with Mrs. Reider, I am the coordinator of the Senior Girls volleyball tournament, the Senior Boys Basketball coach, and am the group leader for the student excursion to NYC in April. All of this will keep me quite busy, which is Ok!! I also have an Intern in my classroom. Mr. Scott Allen will be working with me until December. He is an energetic teacher with lots of potential.

I look forward to the challenges and potential of this year, it should be one of my best years as a teacher!!!!

As we come to the end of another year, a few thoughts...

I have now finished my second year at STJ as a teacher, and my third with the basketball program. I would like to say that I truly believe that we have really good natured kids with big hearts and healthy souls. That is proven to me through the countless time that is put into fundraising initiatives towards really good causes.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with a fantastic TGG this year. They have made every day in TGG enjoyable, and have welcomed me with open arms. I want to thank them for that, and wish them the very best as they move on to the next stage in their lives. Good luck, and God Bless.

I wish everyone of the students a relaxing and eventful summer, and hope that they come back ready to work and take advantage of the tremendous opportunity that they have to be a "Guardian."
