| As an educator, my biggest inspiration is my mom, who was an amazing teacher at Saint Mary School for many years. As a Saint Mary graduate, I’m proud to work in a school environment where we can talk about God. A special sense of community exists in this school—the students and families really want to be here. I value being able to remind my students to act the way Jesus wants them to act during the course of the day.” | |
