Our Lady of the Wayside has been a part of my life starting out as a student, parishioner, REP teacher and finally the PE/Health teacher. It is a great experience to work with all the students, watching them grow with knowledge, physical ability and spiritually. I enjoy the chance to spend additional time working with students that are on the Scholastic Bowl team. I am thankful every day that I have this wonderful job as a teacher here at Our Lady of the Wayside.
