Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
I am proud to be part of St. Anne’s-Belfield School and the School’s commitment to developing compassionate citizens and visionary leaders. I feel so thankful to be part of this kind, friendly and vibrant educational community.

I believe that I am helping our students to have meaningful opportunities each and every day to help them learn to regulate their emotions, develop their sense of empathy and compassion, and solve problems productively. I have a Masters of Art in Creative Arts Therapy and have worked as a Museum Educator in New York and Virginia. I like to enrich our students learning through hands-on projects to enhance their scholastic experience.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
St. Anne's-Belfield is a close-knit school. The small class sizes allow teachers to truly get to know the students well to allow individuality and creativity to shine.

Teaching lower elementary students is a great joy. Everything is new and exciting to them. It is wonderful to light a spark and watch it grow.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
I wanted to be part of a community that placed as much value on teaching students to be kind citizens and caring members of a community as much as a strong academic program.

I enjoy getting to know each student's individual learning style and then using that information to challenge and empower them as learners.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield School? My daughter is a student at St. Anne's and it seemed like a good fit for me as well.

Mr. Connors's teaching philosophy is simply: BALANCE! He loves to travel and see the world, and prior to teaching at the School, he was a faculty member of the Charleston County Public Schools, the American School of Asuncion, Paraguay, and Hong Kong International School. Mr. Connors feels the most important things he can teach students are to be kind and be active.

M.A.E., Boston University
VAEA Northern Region Art Teacher of the Year

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
I came to St. Anne's from the Public School because I could really get to know kids--I taught in more than 3 schools and had over 1,000 students! At St. Anne's I have taught fewer students and really gotten to know them well and have even taught some of my former students' children--what an honor!

I get to do art and I get to share in the joy of creation with students! I love that I get to make art, see young people every day, work with passionate professional colleagues, and come to a beautiful place. I am able to get the supplies for Visual Arts that are needed to help make students' experiences in art meaningful and well-rounded.
