Ms. Conboy, the new religion and government teacher, is certainly a very busy and dedicated woman. Even while juggling teaching 12 th grade economics and government, 9 th and 11 th grade religion, being a mother of twins and a loving wife, she still finds the time to do kickboxing every weeknight. She has been teaching for 28 years, most recently at Stella Maris, an all-girls high school run by the Sisters of St. Joseph. She was teaching there for 20 years, but sadly the school closed last spring. With her experience of teaching in an all-girls Catholic school, she finds teaching very valuable and does not see any reason not to return here next year. "I’ve enjoyed it [SJHS] and do not see any reason not to return next year," Ms. Conboy said. She may consider teaching kickboxing here at St. Joseph’s. She stated, "Perhaps, yes I wouldn’t mind sharing my kickboxing skills of 11 years with everyone if it can fit into everyone’s schedule." Ms. Conboy is a married woman and has two 13 year old identical twin daughters who are avid sports enthusiasts. Religion Department chairperson Mrs. Baylock finds Ms.Conboy to be very devoted and appreciates her here being with us. "Since we both teach juniors, we often share ideas and teaching tips that we have found work well in the classroom," Mrs. Baylock said. "I appreciate her fresh perspective and down to earth sense of humor. We are fortunate to have her with us at St. Joseph." Mrs. Christy, from our guidance department, also spoke highly of Ms. Conboy’s presence. "She brings energy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to the CSJ mission, developed during her years at Stella Maris," said Mrs. Christy. "She has been very generous in sharing her ideas and experience with us. It is also a great pleasure to have another Mets fan at St. Joseph’s!" Ms. Conboy shared a very inspirational quote for our young women in St. Joseph. "Live everyday like it is your last day on earth," Ms. Conboy said. ]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:53:04 GMT
