Teacher InformationHi! I’m Mrs. Scannell. I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten here at Holy Family School. This will be my 21st year in education. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Ed. and a Master’s Degree in Special Ed. I went to Catholic Schools from Kindergarten through 12th grades. 11 years of my career I taught in the public school system and for the past 9, I have had the opportunity to return to my roots and teach in Catholic School. It is a gift to be able to teach religion and share my faith. Educating for the spirit and mind is so rewarding.
I have taught Pre-K through sixth grade and have learned so much through those experiences. I began an autism program from its inception. Working together with families and a great support staff, our program was awarded a New York State grant as a model program. The relationship between the team that I worked with during those years, paired with the children and their families, had a deep impact on my career. I realized that students truly excel when school and home connect to form a strong foundation for the child.Favorite Saint and Quote
My favorite saint is Mother Teresa. I try to live my life by her words, ‘A life not lived for others is not a life.'2024 - 2025 School Year
What can students look forward to when they join your class?
I am passionate about learning and enjoy every minute of sharing that energy with my students.
I'm so happy to begin our school year together. It will be filled with opportunities to grow with new adventures. I love to play the ukulele and believe that 'music can spark a light' socially, spiritually and academically. Our days together will include lessons that are fun, engaging and hands on.
Message to Parents
It is a blessing for me to be part of our school family and an honor to be your child's teacher. Myself, being a parent of 2 graduates from Holy Family, I understand the importance that your child is learning in an enriching program. My focus is to create an environment where your child will build confidence, connect to their faith and become their best selves. I look forward to a most wonderful year ahead, so we may build a strong class community as a foundation for our little learners.
