What is special about what I do? As a product of a twelve year Catholic education, I want every child who I teach to be given the gifts that I received; unconditional support, respectful relationships, true desire to nurture and educate, intertwined with the common purpose we share – our faith. I try to make this evident in my classroom every day.

 

What is special about Jordan? What I admire most about Jordan is the sense of community. Parents, teachers, school staff, priests and parishioners share a common intention of quality education in a faith-filled atmosphere.

 

What am I most looking forward to this school year? I am so looking forward to being united on one campus in January!
