Hi families! 

My name is Miss Manchery and I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade at STA this year! This will be my first year at STA and my third year as a teacher. I am a Long Island native and grew up in New Hyde Park! I have my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Baruch College (Manhattan) and my Master's Degree in Elementary Education from St. Joseph's University (Philadelphia). When I'm not teaching, I love to paint, dance, and interior decorate!

I grew up Catholic and always wanted to teach at a Catholic school. One of the biggest blessings in my life is my faith. Fun fact: I am Syro-Malabar Catholic which is part of the Eastern Rite of Catholicism. When I was younger, my parish community used to celebrate liturgy at St. Thomas the Apostle Chapel in West Hempstead! 

I know this school year will look very different than most years. Don't worry, we got this! Together as a team, with understanding, we will make it through  strong!
