Meet our Teachers!
Tuesday: Diocesan Teachers
We're on our second day of our Teacher Appreciation Fundraiser and we've raised $2,600 of our $8,000 goal! That's amazing!
Today, we're appreciating Ms. Malcousu and Ms. McCarthy! Between the two of them is decades of teaching experience in the Diocese of Brooklyn. "I love morning meetings at BJP," notes Ms. McCarthy. "The girls take turns and are in charge. It's a great way to start the day."
Both these teachers exemplify a commitment to our mission- not only in their careers, but also in their willingness to teach a variety of subjects! Ms. McCarthy is an Art and Religion teacher, and Ms. Malcousu teaches a whopping FOUR subjects: English ,Reading, History, and Religion! We're so grateful they have landed at BJP.
While BJP relies on the state government to fund and supply the materials for some of our courses, Albany doesn't have all the answers. Some subjects, like Religion, can't be funded with state money. In other subjects, like our STEAM curriculum, we want to dream bigger than what state resources provide. A donation to BJP's Teacher Appreciation Fundraiser will give teachers like Ms. Malcousu and Ms. McCarthy the ability to create more rigorous, engaging lessons for our students.

Monday: Former Volunteers
We're kicking off our Teacher Appreciation Fundraiser by highlighting Ms. Lococo and Mr. Rogers! Many BJP teachers get their start as volunteers with organizations like the Jesuit Volunteer Corps or AmeriCorps, like Ms. Lococo and Mr. Rogers did. After volunteering, they were hired as staff members, and they've both been with us for almost a decade (guess we did something right)!
We love partnering with JVC and AmeriCorps! They bring us excited, passionate volunteers who want to make a difference. Your donations help us maintain our relationships with these organizations and turn eager, talented volunteers into dedicated teachers!
