Townsend's Troopers

Weekly Update

Mrs. Townsend

As you can see from the picture, two of my loves are reading and coffee.  I also love spending time with my family. My husband and I live in North Syracuse with our three kids and energetic pup.  I have been teaching with the Syracuse Diocese for quite a bit, but began  at St. Margaret's in  2012 before being welcomed into St. Rose in the fall of 2021.
