Welcome to the
2007/2008 school year. I hope this will be a good year for all Middle
School students and parents. This is my 22nd year teaching at St. Leo
School, and I am happy to be here. As most of you know, I teach social
studies, English, literature, and religion to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
I received a B.A. degree in history from St. Mary’s College in South
Bend, Indiana, and also did postgraduate work at Western Connecticut
State University. I am certified to teach social studies, history, and
English by the state of North Carolina.
My husband and I have lived in Winston-Salem for 25years. We have
four grown sons and four grandchildren. Two years ago we were delighted
when my son Jeffrey and his family moved from Portland, Oregon, to
Raleigh. Now we have two of our children in the Raleigh area. My oldest
son lives in New York City, and the youngest lives in New Orleans.
Luckily, all the grandchildren are in Raleigh.
Reading is one of my favorite pastimes, and one of my goals is to
encourage students to read more. Learning is not limited to the
classroom, and truly educated people are those who are well read. As a
social studies teacher, I also hope that my students will develop an
appreciation of history so they can become responsible citizens and
future leaders.
Please feel free to contact me at any time during the year if you
have questions or concerns about your sons/daughters and their progress.
Homework Policy: Homework is assigned to reinforce and review material that has been covered in class. Students are expected to complete homework and bring it to class with them. The web page is intended to serve as a guide for parents and students. Upcoming tests will be posted regularly, but it is the responsibility of students to copy daily homework assignments from the homework board in the classroom. Points will be deducted for each missing homework assignment. As homework is reviewed and corrected in class, it cannot be made up.
