	Mrs. Maeve Allen Pre-School Teacher
	This is my ninth year teaching at Immaculate Conception, however I.C. has been an important part of my life for much longer than that, as I have been a parishioner here for many years. In addition, I graduated from Immaculate Conception School. After later graduating Marlborough High School, I received a B.S. in Elementary Education fromWorcester State College. On a personal note, my husband Tom and I have three sons and a granddaughter.

“Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not turn away from it.” Proverbs 22:6
	I have been an Aide at Immaculate Conception School for 4 years. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Framingham State College and worked as a Menswear Buyer for Bradlees until I had my first son and chose to stay home and raise him and his brother who was born 2 years later. When my children were in 2nd grade and Kindergarten here at ICS, I returned to the work force as a substitute teacher at ICS. When I was offered the opportunity to join the faculty, I believe I was answering His call to serve. My husband and I are supporters and advocates of Catholic education. He is a graduate of St. Agnes School in Arlington, MA and Boston College High School in Dorchester, MA. Our family is involved with the IC Parish where my sons are altar servers and I serve as a Eucharistic Minister. My son, James, graduated from ICS in June 2009 and now attends St. John's High School. My other son, Matthew, is in 7th grade here at ICS. I am constantly surprised and delighted by the children’s response to learning. They inspire me every day.
		Mrs. Ann Morin Pre - Kindergarten Teacher
		This is my tenth year teaching the Pre-K 4 year old program at Immaculate Conception School. Our Pre-K program is a developmental program which allows each child to develop socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and spiritually. Recognizing that children learn through play, each child is encouraged to discover, explore, question, make choices and succeed. I am a graduate of American International College with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education. I have a M.S. degree in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College. In addition to having taught in private preschools, I have taught both 1st and 2nd grade before having my family. While at home with my children, a friend and I co-founded the Northboro Food Pantry. I am a parishioner of St. Rose of Lima in Northboro. My husband and I have four children and four grandchildren ages 1-7. We have become more aware of the challenges young parents face today. I love teaching the 4 year old children. They are always amazed, excited, and appreciative of their day.
	Mrs. Lisa O’Sullivan Kindergarten Teacher
	This is my 10th year teaching in a Catholic school in an Early Childhood program. My previous experience includes teaching Pre-Kindergarten at Ascension Catholic School in Melbourne, Florida and third grade at St. Michael School in Hudson, Massachusetts. I am enjoying being back in the classroom after a leave of absence to raise our son, Riley. I am very happy and excited to be a part of the ICS community. I hold an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education from Bay Path College in Longmeadow, Ma. I also have earned a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology from Westfield State College. I am certified in ECE by the state of Massachusetts.
	Mrs. Christine Lacharite 1st Grade Teacher
		I have been at Immaculate Conception School for more than 20 years. During this time I have taught kindergarten and grades 5, 2 and 1. I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Framingham State College and a Master of Education with an Early Childhood Concentration from Worcester State College. My state certification is k-8. In addition, I keep current by taking graduate courses and attending workshops. I believe first grade is special because we learn so many new and important skills. My favorite part is helping the children learn to read. My hope is that first grade is an exciting place to be for all my students. I am happy to be a part of the ICS community.
	Ms. Elena Caputo 1st Grade Teacher
		My journey started here at the Immaculate Conception School when I taught the Kindergarten Class last year. This year I moved onto first grade along with many of my students! In 2009 I graduated from Curry College with a BA degree in Early Childhood Education (grades pre-school through 2nd) and Integrated Liberal Studies. I have always been passionate about working with young children and enjoy teaching students of all types of different backgrounds and capabilities. I find that the most rewarding part of teaching is seeing the children progress and make such big and important strides. One of the greatest feelings is seeing that “light bulb” go off when a child learns something new. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and planning for my upcoming wedding in June!
