My name is Mary Daul and I've been blessed to be the physical education teacher for the kindergarten through eighth grade. This is my fourteenth year at St. Dennis School, and my twenty-ninth year teaching for the Joliet Diocese.
I attended St. Joseph Catholic School in Addison from first through eighth grade. I am grateful to my parents (who have since been gathered up to God), three sisters, two nieces, and the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis who were my teachers and mentors.
My philosophy to teaching P.E. is an inclusive approach which uses competition and cooperativeness to "improve," not to "prove." It should be a positive experience for each student.
