My name is Julie Somorrostro and I'm thrilled and excited to be your child's third grade teacher at HPS!  I've been teaching at Hollis Primary School for 23 years.  I'm fortunate to be part of a wonderful school and an encouraging and supportive community.  

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Roanoke College and a Masters degree in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction from New England College.  I recently received my Social Emotional Learning Facilitation Certification with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification from Breathe for Change that is geared for classroom educators.  

In my free time I enjoy running, reading, yoga, spending time with family, and going for walks with my dog, Pancho.  I'm a married mother to two children, and I love cheering them on at their sporting events.  I look forward to a wonderful year full of learning!

I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year! I have been teaching for over 25 years, and this marks the start of my 18th year at HPS. I love teaching third graders! It is a joy to support them in becoming more independent and self-directed learners. I have a B.A. in English and Drama and earned a Master’s degree in Elementary Education. I have two amazing daughters! Both of them followed in my footsteps and are teachers too. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and my dog, Jerry. I am looking forward to being a partner with you in your child’s  education.

Hi! My name is Matthew Ostrowski.  This is my 14th year at HPS, and I love every minute of my time with the students.  I have a passion for writing and especially for poetry - as the kiddos learn very quickly.  I am married and have a son named Henry and a daughter named Alma.  

My undergraduate degree is from the George Washington University, and I worked in DC for 10 years following my graduation.  I hold a master's degree in both regular and special education from Rivier University, and I hold a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study from Plymouth State University.  I am licensed in the following areas: Elementary Education, General Special Education, and School Principal.

More importantly, I love to learn and to explore new areas of inquiry.  I laugh often, and I try always to approach others with kindness, patience, and genuine interest.  Please reach out to me as often as you need.  

Hi! I’m Ms. Desrosiers, and I’m so excited to be your teacher this year! I have degrees in both Education and Psychology, and I’m currently working on my Master’s in Special Education. This is my second year teaching, and I love it! One of the best parts of my job is seeing students grow and find joy in learning. When I am not teaching, I like to spend time outdoors and with family! I can’t wait to get to know you and have an amazing year together! 

I am in my third year teaching third grade at Hollis Primary School, marking my sixteenth year teaching. I hold a bachelor's degree in elementary and special education and am currently pursuing a master's in literacy. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with Mr. Phillips and our two daughters, and I love being outdoors or reading.

Hi! My name is Mrs. Lord and I am so excited to be your teacher this year!  This is my fourth year teaching 3rd grade at Hollis Primary School, but I have been teaching elementary school since 2016.
