Dear Fifth Grade Families,

Welcome to St.Theresa School and 5B! I will be your child's teacher this year. I am from western Pennsylvania and received my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Clarion University of PA. I have been teaching fifth grade at St. Theresa for 16 years.

My husband and I have been married for 26 years.  Our son, Drew, is a junior at Susquehanna University and will be studying abroad in London for the semester. Grace is in fifth grade with Mrs. Levens. We also have a mini goldendoodle named Snickers! She is such a fun little dog!

I am looking forward to having a successful and blessed year with your child and I know we will be "smiling" together as we learn new topics this year!

Sincerely,

Mrs. DeBastiani
