Levittown, PA 19054

Dear Parents and Guardians:

The Holy Spirit always takes us where He wants us! And so, I find myself back at St. Michael the Archangel for my second year as your Art and Italian teacher. How exciting!

I come to the classroom with 24 years of teaching experience. I teach ages from 3 yrs.
to adult and in a variety of venues: private and public schools, parochial schools, private
studios, homeschool networks and corporate settings.
As a professional artist, I maintain a private studio and bring that discipline and creativity to the
classroom.
I am a near native speaker of Italian. I spent five years working and studying in Italy and
then five years working for an Italian company here in the states where I was a translator,
interpreter and international client liaison in the aviation industry.

My husband and I will celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary this year. We were married
at Holy Trinity in Morrisville. We currently live in St. Ignatius of Antioch parish in Yardley.
We have raised three children who are all success stories of Catholic education. We are blessed with two grandsons. I love to sew, garden, cook and repurpose just about anything.

Let us remember that our mission as a Catholic School is to teach our children the skills
that they need in life through the eyes of Christ. It is my hope that together we can and will
fulfill, at the very least, part of this mission.

Your partner in education,
Mrs. Havrilla
