Hi, my name is Miss Buoni. I am from Garnet Valley, PA. I attended Saint Francis De Sales School and Padua Academy, where I developed a strong background in Catholic faith and education. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from West Chester University in 2021 with a major Early Grades Prep, PK-4.
I am beyond excited to carry out my vocation as a third grade teacher at a Catholic School such as Saint Simon and Jude. I look forward to helping my students set and reach goals and to celebrate every milestone along the way!
WELCOME TO GRADE 3
Third grade is a great year, where we are the leaders of the primary grades! We work on building study skills, as well as becoming independent learners. We will be growing in our love for Jesus as we learn new things and work together as a team every day.
