WELCOME TO OUR CLASS!!!
We are so very excited to get to know you!
First, I will introduce myself, I am Therese Keena. Everyone calls me Ms. Therese. I have been teaching for quite a while, 24 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. I am married to Brian Keena. I have 3 children, 2 daughter-in-law’s, and 3 grandchildren (can you believe it? I can’t, since I am only 39, Haha). I love the beach, reading, crocheting and I am learning to weave.
Now introducing Liz McKenna. Everyone calls her Ms. Liz. Ms. Liz is the paraprofessional in our room. She is my partner. She has worked as a paraprofessional at Brigantine Community School for 20+ years.
Ms. Liz has taught in many different grade levels but feels most at home with the littles (she can spoil them and they give hugs). Ms. Liz has lived in Brigantine for 21+ years. Her husband’s name is Steve. She has 1 son, Patrick, and a daughter in law. Patrick is retired from the US Coast Guard and lives in Virginia. Liz loves the beach, reading and spoiling all of us.
Ms. Liz and I are going into our 8th year together.
