My name is Theresa Farmer. I have been teaching children from Pre-k to grade 2 for 21 years. This is my 15th year teaching at Our Lady of Victory. Teaching is my passion. I love being greeted by each morning by my student’s smiling faces knowing that each day is a new opportunity to learn and grow. In my spare time I like to cook, travel, and spend time with my two beautiful children.
Meet the Teacher Aide:
Our classroom aide is Mr. Jayson Morrison. He has been working at Our Lady of Victory since January 2019. He is currently working on his Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood education. In addition to being our classroom aide, Mr. Morrision also runs the Archie Video Club after school.
Welcome to First Grade!
I am looking forward to teaching your child and watching them explore, learn new things, and grow each day!
