Looking for a way to keep skills sharp this summer? Summer tutoring is a great opportunity for students to strengthen academic foundations, build confidence, and stay engaged in learning throughout the break. Whether your child needs extra support, enrichment, or a jump start for the upcoming school year, personalized tutoring can help students continue to grow in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
We are excited to share a few staffing updates as we continue preparing for next school year.
Lauren Farinella will continue teaching Library and will also take over STEM. Lauren brings a strong background in Library and Information Sciences, Mathematics, and hands-on learning experiences, including her work with Science Expos. We are excited for her to share her gifts with students in this expanded Library and STEM role.
Taylor Bellemo will be moving to 1st grade next year. When Taylor first joined St. Barnabas, she shared her love for working with younger learners, and we are excited that she will now have the opportunity to bring that passion to our 1st grade team. Taylor’s care for students, creativity, and positive energy will be a wonderful fit for this role.
With Lauren moving into this expanded Library and STEM role, we will be opening a part-time Computer Teacher position for next school year. This position will be posted online and on the Diocesan website.
Please join me in congratulating Lauren and Taylor on their new roles. We are grateful for the talented educators God continues to bring to our school community. We currently have one remaining opening for the 2026-2027 school year: a part-time Computer Teacher position. If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact the school office for more information.
Ms. Haylee Houlahan will be joining our 4th grade team. Ms. Houlahan brings five years of elementary education experience and has worked with students across grades K–5. Her background as a special education teacher has given her valuable experience supporting a wide range of learners, helping students grow academically, socially, and confidently. Ms. Houlahan also has a special connection to St. Barnabas as a former student and current parishioner. She is excited to return to the school community where her own education began and where Mrs. Wareham helped inspire her love of learning and teaching. We are confident that Ms. Houlahan's experience, heart for students, and deep connection to our community will be a wonderful gift to our 4th grade students.
Ms. Julia Tomins will also be joining our 4th grade team. Ms. Tomins brings excellent experience as a junior high writing teacher and as a 4th- and 5th-grade ELA teacher. Throughout the interview process, Ms. Tomins' passion for teaching, love for students, and joyful approach to learning were clear. She is committed to creating a classroom where students feel safe, supported, known, and appropriately challenged. Ms. Tomins is excited to bring joy into her lessons each day and to help students grow as confident readers, writers, and learners. We are confident that Ms. Tomins' energy, experience, and care for students will make her a strong addition to our St. Barnabas community.
