Welcome to Our Class!!
I am Therese Keena. Everyone calls me Ms. Therese. I have been teaching for quite a while, 20+ years, with a break in the middle to stay home with my youngest daughter. My teaching career started in Virginia, where I took a preschool position “just to get my foot in the door”, but it turns out that I love teaching preschoolers. I find it extremely rewarding to be a part of their growth and development.
On a more personal level, I live in Brigantine; am married to Brian Keena. I have 3 children, 2 daughter-in-laws, and 3 grandchildren (can you believe it? I can’t, since I am only 36, Haha). My youngest child attends Brigantine Community School. Her name is Marren (you will probably hear a lot about her this year). She is in 7th grade. I love the beach, reading, crocheting and I am learning to weave.
Now introducing Liz McKenna. Ms. Liz is the paraprofessional in our room. She is my partner. She has worked as a paraprofessional at Brigantine Community School for 18+ years. Ms. Liz has taught in many different grade levels but feels most at home with the littles. Ms. Liz has lived in Brigantine for 20+ years. Her husband’s name is Steve. She has 1 son, Patrick, who recently retired from the US Coast Guard and settled in Virginia with his wife. Liz loves the beach, reading and spoiling all of us.
