I am so excited to begin my 19th year in Catholic Education and my 8th year here at Montini. It is a joy to be able to spread my love for our rich Catholic faith with your child. I have many creative things in store for my lessons this year and I hope that your child is able to build a lasting relationship with Jesus by gaining some inspiration from our lessons from Scripture, the Catechism, and many guest presenters. Please know that I am here for you too! If you ever have a question, concern, or a prayer request, I am just an email or phone call away.

Thank you for blessing me with being your child's teacher, it is truly an honor.
