Thank you to all the donors, parents, and board for making this room a dream come true.
We have a saltwater tank, a freshwater tank, Aquasprouts tank, and a terrarium. The students are involved in maintaining and caring for the aquatic and plant life throughout the year. Thank goodness for Mr. Duff for keeping everything going during the summer!
I am so happy to be back at Saint Jerome School for another wonderful year teaching and caring for your children. I hope to foster in them a love for science and a stewardship for the environment. My own interest in science began in middle school. I am certified in Earth Science 7-12 and Elementary Education K-8. I have a BA in Geology with a minor in Math and Physics and a MA in Education.
