Mrs. Gostomski
I have a Master's Degree in Education and taught in Harford County for 6 years before moving to Arizona, where I taught for 3 years while my husband was in the Marine Corps and stationed at Yuma Proving Ground. We then moved back to Maryland and I stayed home for several years with my own small class, our 4 children: Nathan, Anna, Laura and Matthew. My oldest son graduated from Saint Margaret School and attends John Carroll. My younger three children still attend SMS in grades 4, 6 and 8. SMS has become our extended family over the years. I volunteered here for 11 years and started working part-time at SMS 4 years ago as an Instructional Assistant and daily substitute. I am excited to now be back in the classroom, and am thrilled to have some of my former students again!

The Archdiocesan Theme for this year is: The Year to Lead, "I have called you by name." Isaiah 43:1. That theme is personally relevant to me this year as I truly believe that God has called me by name to return to teaching the children of God here at Saint Margaret School. I feel very blessed to be working in this school community, and I am honored to be teaching your children.

I enjoy reading, day trips & days at the pool with my family, watching my kids play their sports, and going out to dinner with family and friends.
