Celebrating Mrs. Long
This year's Heart of the School Recipient is Mrs. Ellen Long!
Mrs. Long has been a dedicated teacher at St. Damian School for 21 years. But, Catholic school was not foreign to her. She grew up on the south side of Chicago and attended St. Thomas Moore grade school and rounded out her Catholic education at St. Xavier. She has been teaching in the Catholic school system for 40 years!
She is a true delight to be around - you can always count on her to joke and be playful and fun, but, when it comes down to it, she is incredibly kind to all of the children and goes that extra mile to be sure they are not only taught reading and math, but, provides kindness and love to her students. Her classroom is full of energy! Her second graders ”ROCK!” She is creative and always finds new ways to teacher her students new concepts. It’s truly never the same lesson twice.
She helps and mentors her colleagues, she never misses a social opportunity. Her positive attitude is infectious. She passes on our Catholic faith by preparing our second graders for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
When she’s not with our second graders, she is with her husband Larry, who she has been married to for 37 years! She is so very proud of her sons, Dan, an engineer with WGN Radio and Matt, in PA school in Buffalo. She loves to walk, when it’s hot, cold, rain or shine, she always gets her steps in - she loves to read and watch HGTV and Cops! And, she really enjoys her Friday night pizza!
