My name is Lisa Carney and I am so happy to be teaching 4th grade at St. Bernadette's. It is my tenth year teaching Fourth Grade, but my eleventh year at St. Bernadette's. I have a master's degree in education from Chestnut Hill College and began my teaching career at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in South Philadelphia where I taught third grade. I have also taught first grade and I have been a reading interventionist and a substitute teacher in grades K to 5.
I was a stay-at-home mom for a number of years raising my 5 daughters. My oldest is a nurse, married with two children. My granddaughter will be five this October and will be in our wonderful Bernie's preschool and my grandson will be two. My second daughter is married and had a daughter born this past April. My third daughter is an ICU nurse at CHOP. My fourth daughter graduated and is now working. My fifth daughter is finishing up her final semester of college.
I am so blessed to be teaching at St. Bernadette's and I am looking forward to a year full of learning and fun!
