Preschool and Upper Elementary
Ms. Sugrue is a teacher’s aide for the preschool and grades 3-5 at St. Patrick School. In the morning she helps out in preschool, but in the afternoon she helps out grades 3-5. She said she loves her job and it brings joy to her heart. She loves working with kids from all ages, an opportunity that she wouldn’t have had prior to working at St. Pats.
Back again
This is Ms. Sugrue’s second year here at St. Pats. I asked her why she started working here, and she said, “I wanted to be a high school soccer coach, so I needed to work at a school.” However, she fell in love with watching kids develop, and decided to stay here.
Family
Ms. Sugrue was born in Ozark, Missouri. She has two siblings, a brother and a sister. Her brother is 22 years old and her sister is 16 years old. Ms. Sugrue and her sister are very close, and her brother sometimes asks her for help and advice.
Hobbies
Ms. Sugrue likes to go to movies and go on runs. Her favorite movie is Jurassic Park. She says it’s nostalgic. Her favorite vacation memory is getting to hold a monkey and two birds in the Dominican Republic. She said she’s excited to read all the Emerald Press stories from this year’s 8th Grade class.
