Faculty and Staff Accomplishments School Nurse Bridget Bradenham ’96 was named a Magnus Health Frontline Hero this winter! This award recognizes and celebrates those who have gone above and beyond for their schools during the pandemic. She has supported our community with passion and kindness, and always with a smile. Laura Colussi, Art Teacher, is exhibiting her artwork at several shows this year – group exhibitions in Wisconsin and Philadelphia, and a solo exhibition in Ambler this July at Art In the Storefront. The art shown here is from last year’s online group exhibition at the Var Gallery in Milwaukee.
Ally Monteiro, Grade 6 Teacher/Religion/STEM, attended the ADVIS Multicultural Resource Center’s Cultural Competency Institute Webinar last year. She also attended National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) People of Color Conference (PoCC) whose theme was “New Decade New Destinies: Challenging Self, Changing Systems, Choosing Justice.” In addition, Ally began a Master of Arts in Educational Innovations (MA-EDIN), with a concentration in Student Development and Support, through St. Edward’s University.
Ryan Saul, Grade 3 Teacher, earned a Master of Education degree in Educational Administration at Grand Canyon University last year. Nick D’Orazio, Grade 5 Teacher, has kept busy in the higher academic setting since earning his Master of Educational Studies degree from Chestnut Hill College in spring 2019. That same fall, he joined Cabrini University’s faculty as an adjunct professor in the School of Education. He currently teaches two education courses to Cabrini’s undergraduate students. Elementary Education 381: Curriculum Methods in Science and Health, focuses on curriculum, lesson planning, lesson differentiation, and integrating science across all subject areas. Special Education 110: Introduction to Developmental Psychology and Learning Theory, focuses on basic concepts of child development relevant to future teachers. “Switching from fifth graders to undergraduate students is definitely a ’teaching challenge,’ but a welcome one,” he says. Nick finds it refreshing and professionally energizing to continue to be engaged in the world of academia.
Erin Wallin, Admissions Director, earned her Admissions and Enrollment Professional (CAEP) certificate through the Association of Independent School Admission Professionals (AISAP). The six-week course allowed Erin to work at her own pace online while in a cohort of eight admissions professionals from all over the United States and Switzerland. They were able to discuss and share what they were learning and their individual school experiences. To earn the certification, an assessment was given at the conclusion of the course.
Congratulations to our newest M.Ed. degree earners!
