I’m very happy to be a member of The St. Francis de Sales Family! I have been a proud Catholic School Teacher for over 30 years! 

I am elementary certified in New Jersey and Maryland. I have taught every grade between kindergarten and eighth grade. I believe in using a variety of teaching strategies to meet the individual needs of my students. I also feel that it is important for parents and teachers to work together as a team for the success of my students.

Teaching is very dear to me. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. I truly love the journey each new year brings. In education, we benefit from rebooting each summer, so educators and students are fresh and new for each new school year. I still look forward to every September and spend countless hours preparing each summer. Even teachers like going back to school shopping and having “Summer Work” too. 

My favorite part of teaching at a catholic school is that I can practice my faith in every facet of my life.

Please be on the lookout for weekly updates and announcements on SchoolStatus Connect throughout the school year. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at pholmes@sfdscs.org.

May God’s light continue to shine brightly on us all this blessed school year!
