Mrs. Arnold's Third Grade Class

Is Riding the Wave of Success

     Mrs. Sue Arnold has been the Third Grade teacher at Holy Family School for fifteen years.  Prior to becoming the third grade teacher, she worked as an instructional aide for three years at the school.  She has also taught middle school math to Dolores Mission and Holy Family students in the Bridges summer school program.  She believes in a Catholic education and loves both the parish and school community.    

 

     She recently celebrated her 35th  wedding anniversary with her husband, Ernie, a Holy Family graduate.  They have 3 sons who are also alumni of Holy Family School and Saint Francis High School.  Their oldest, Jeff, graduated from Dartmouth College and after working in NYC for several years, is working towards his  PhD  in Political Sciences at the University of Rochester, NY.  Their second son, Matthew, graduated from USC  and after working for Disney Interactive on video games is now creating and producing video games and web series; and their youngest, Michael, graduated from Boston College in May, 2009, and is teaching 4th grade Navajo children in New Mexico for the Teach for America Program.

     Assisting Mrs. Arnold as teacher aide is Kelsey Davidson who is returning to the third grade after being away for several years.   She is a graduate of Holy Family School and Ramona Convent.  She also has extensive experience in bookstores and we are fortunate to have her back.   She will be a wonderful asset to the third grade.    

    Mrs. Arnold wants her students to know that she loved being in the Third Grade as a child and would be happy being a "third grader" forever.  Mrs. Arnold would also like her students to always remember their multiplication facts and tricks.  This will make it much easier for them in Fourth and Fifth Grade.

"Always remember the fun we had learning."
