Welcome to Second Grade!
My name is Ms. Luzon and I am really looking forward to being your teacher! You will be the third class that I teach at St. Patrick's. I hope you are ready to have a year full of learning, fun, and excitement! Please check out the School Supplies Tab by clicking here or on the top right! 😊
About Me...
This is my third year teaching at St. Patrick's School. Prior to teaching here, I completed my Master's Degree in Childhood Education at Manhattanville College. Then, I was lucky enough to teach a 3rd grade class at Transfiguration in Tarrytown. I also completed my Bachelor's in Psychology at Manhattanville. I have worked at Bedford Central School District as well. I am very excited for another year full of learning and joy!
Religion (Sadlier)
Second Grade is a special and important year because you will be receiving two sacraments! You will receive First Penance and First Holy Communion. First Penance will be received in February and First Holy Communion will be received in May.
