Hello! I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year on their third grade journey. 

This is my second year teaching at St. Edward's and I look forward to meeting all of you and starting my new adventure :).

I graduated from St. Joseph's College with a degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. I have a Masters degree in Literacy from Touro College. I am New York State certified in general education and special education. 

Before joining the St. Edward's family, I worked at a Catholic school in Queens. I taught third grade for two years and enjoyed all the exploring, learning, and fun my students and I had!

Collaborating with families and emphasizing positive behaviors are an integral part of my teaching philosophy.  Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns, as I check my email frequently and will respond in a timely matter. 

We are going to have a fantastic year in 3rd grade! Thank you for your continued support in having a successful school year!

Mrs. Hetherington (Ms. G)
