My name is Mrs. McNamara, and I am the NEW 4th-grade teacher. Many of my students prefer to call me Mrs. Mac. and I am totally okay with that!
I am widowed and have 2 grown children, a daughter and a son, who live with me, and I will soon have a son-in-law too. I love the color purple and glitter or bling. My favorite sports teams are the Phillies and the Eagles. I enjoy gardening for butterflies and birds and have planted a huge butterfly garden in my backyard.
I have been a teacher for 20 years, and 17 of those years were in Catholic schools. I have taught grades PreK 3 & 4, Kindergarten, and 4th-8th grade. I have a standard certificate in elementary education - grades K-8.
I love Sacred Heart School because I have been given the opportunity to get back into teaching in a loving, faith-filled environment. I am sure that by this time next year, I will have many more reasons to share. Learning should be fun. I enjoy bringing activities into the classroom that also teach life skills, so don't be surprised to find projects that encourage that growth!
My favorite activites at Sacred Heart - I will discover that this year!
My favorite Bible Verse is Philippians 4:13. "I have the strength for everything through Him who empowers me."
