Hello Readers! I have been a teacher for over 15 years, 5 of those at St. Jerome as the school library media specialist. I am a proud graduate of St. Dominic Grade School and St. Hubert High School. I attended West Chester University for my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and St. Joseph's University where I earned a Master of Science Degree as a Reading Specialist. I am also a St. Jerome parishioner and enjoy working with the wonderful families in our community. Looking forward to a great year with our lions - full of books, stories, and adventures. I love watching our students grow as readers, learners, and thinkers!
Many adventures in reading await the students of St.Jerome School this year! Children in Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 enjoy story time and a literature-based activity each week. Children in Kindergarten to Grade 5 also have a read aloud and a corresponding activity. Our lessons include author studies, exposure to various literary genres, and literature appreciation. All students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 have the opportunity to check a library book out every week. The Fuller Library includes more than 10,000 titles, including non-fiction, reference, and award-winning fiction. We celebrate our appreciation and love for reading during Read Across America Week in March every year! This celebration includes guest readers and special activities. The Scholastic Book Fair is held every January to coincide with Catholic Schools Week. Students and families have the opportunity to purchase top-quality books while supporting the library's fundraising efforts.
