5th & 6th Grade (science) - Susan Frank

I am excited to be teaching fifth and sixth grade science. I have been teaching for over thirty years. Wow, I can’t believe I just said that because it feels like yesterday that I walked into my first classroom. I still have that same enthusiasm every year as I meet my new group of students. I began my career teaching in the Diocese of Rockville Centre and then moved on to the Farmingdale public schools. After staying home to raise my children, I returned to the diocesan school I love, SWS. I received both my B.S. and M.A. in Education from Adelphi University. I love helping my students to live, grow, and become active members of the Catholic faith. I am an active parishioner here at St. William the Abbot. SWS has always been an important part of my life. I received all of my sacraments here and I am a proud graduate of St. William the Abbot School. Over the years, I have served the parish through the music ministry and teaching in Faith Formation. My husband and two sons are active in the parish as ushers. I believe in the education that SWS offers to our students and that is why I am happy to say that my two sons are also graduates of SWS. As you can see SWS will always hold a special place in my heart!

Favorite Saint
My favorite saint is St. Bernadette. I have a fond affection for Our Lady of Lourdes.

Favorite Movie
“The Song of Bernadette” which tells the story of Bernadette’s life.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
