Some of my proudest teaching moments are when former students reach out to me and thank me for being their teacher. I find it so rewarding to celebrate the successes of my students, and I am so impressed when listening to their journeys and to discover what wonderful faith-filled young men and women they have become. Another proud teaching moment is during the year of Covid when my then 4th grade class students worked so hard creating projects at home with their families and supporting one another through Zoom.
