What is your favorite thing about teaching at SVF School?
The community is my favorite part of teaching at SVF. Parents have told me repeatedly, "It's just so warm here." Here, you are not just another number. We radiate Christ's love through our community. Staff and families can feel the warmth that the parents describe by being here.
What is your favorite SVF School tradition?
In addition to all of the beautiful prayer services we attend, our "Reading Buddies" are top-notch. Our PreK class is Buddied with 4th grade. We not only pass the love of reading to each other
but also share adventures together throughout the school year. The 4th graders are wonderful to
watch as they shepherd the PreK buddies at Mass.
