My name is Yvette Fortin and I am the new Art Teacher.
 

A graduate of The School of Visual Arts in NYC, my love of art and design began at a young age. Over the last 25 years I’ve had the pleasure of working and creating for Scholastic Books, Atlantic Records and Homeware Design Agencies for major retailers. 

I met my husband at Grand Central Station while working on an art exhibition for the MTV music awards and we have three wonderful children, two of which will be attending Sacred Heart. In the summer, we love to vacation with family. We also have 2 adorable dogs. 

I’m am thrilled to be part of the Sacred Heart family and can not wait to see what we create together and sharing in all the many events. 

My favorite Bible verse:

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

A Time for Everything

1

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 

    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 

    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 

    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 

    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 

    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 

    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 

    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.
