Grammar (7th & 8th)
Donna Hennessey's journey with St. Aloysius began in 1972 when the school needed a seventh and eighth grade Language Arts teacher. Having recently graduated from Chestnut Hill College as an English major with high school certification, and being enrolled in a Master's program at Kutztown University, she intended to help out until a permanent teacher was found. However, she fell in love with the students, parents, faculty, and the school's mission, making St. Aloysius her "other" home for the next forty-eight years until her retirement during the pandemic. The school community shared in many chapters of her life, from planning the Baptisms of her children to supporting her as she cared for her aging parents. Her many years of memories at St. Aloysius are dear to her heart.
Nevertheless, the "school bug was relentless," and with Mr. Palmieri's invitation to help out, along with the encouragement of her husband Kevin, children Jonathan and Dori, and even their golden retriever Isabel, Donna is happy to be back in school teaching part of the seventh and eighth grade Language Arts program. She is looking forward to the school year and hopes to meet many of the St. Aloysius School families.
