Who is Mrs. Shay?

Hello! This is my tenth year teaching at Notre Dame de Lourdes. I graduated from Penn State University with a BS in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management. After graduating, I managed a restaurant for twelve years and then decided to obtain my Masters Degree. I graduated from Neumann University with my Master in Educational Leadership and am certified in both Elementary Education (K-6) and Special Education (N-12). I absolutely LOVE teaching! My favorite part is when each students has their "a'ha" moment. 

When I am not in the classroom, I am spending time with my family. I am married, have three wonderful children. My husband, Mike, works in the educational field as well. He is a high school English teacher. My daughter, Hannah, 21 and a graduate of Notre Dame '18, is a senior at Penn State University.  Andrew, 18, and a graduate of Notre Dame '21, is a freshman at Penn State University and Collin, 9, is in fourth grade here at Notre Dame. I am also a member of Our Lady of Peace Parish. 

I love to sew, craft, bake, and watch crime/drama television shows! I am my children's biggest fan, so you can definitely find me on the soccer sidelines or at the basketball court. I also LOVE watching football, both on TV and live. Go PSU! Go Eagles!
