3Welcome back to what is bound to be an AWESOME school year! 

 I have a deep committment to Catholic education, after being Catholic educated my entire educational career.  I believe that Catholic education has greatly shaped my life and the person that I am today.

 I attended St. Cyprian grade school in River Grove, IL and Fenwick High School in Oak Park, IL.  After high school,  I attended Providence College in Providence, RI where I earned a Bachelor of the Arts Degree in History and Secondary Education.  A few years later, I attended Dominican University in River Forest, IL where I received a Master of the Arts Degree in Educational Administration.  

Since I graduated from college, I also solely worked in Catholic schools. Immediately after college, I worked at Guerin College Preparatory High School in River Grove, IL.  I worked as a teacher and the Dean of Students.  I also served on a number of committees, including working on the Student Life Committee, planning multiple events for students, as well as planning the Kairos retreats and coaching Girls' Softball.  After 10 years working at Guerin Prep, I accepted a position at Fenwick High School, as the Assistant Dean of Students.  After 3 years, I really wanted to be back in the classroom full time, which brought me here to Divine Providence.  I am very excited to embark upon the adventures of 8th grade with all of my students this year!

Week of June 1st

6th and 7th Grade Students will have Mon-Wed to make up any missing work before grades are finalized.  Also, please make sure that ALL students return any novels that we read in class, as well as the hardcover Collections textbook to the school on June 4th when you come to pick up their belongings.  Some of these books were not taken home and have already been found in their desks.  If they brought them home with them in March, they will need to be returned to the school.  The close readers and vocabulary books do not need to be returned.
