Linda Mulligan

Teaching for 22 years.  The past nine years teaching second grade and CLIP for select first graders,(Collaborative Literacy Intervention Program)  Both my children have graduated from Ss. Simon and Jude School.

 

Mrs. Mulligan and Mrs. Bailey are fortunate to work at a team dividing the subject areas/class schedule, both teaching part-time.

 

The second grade teachers’ favorite thing at Ss. Simon and Jude is being a part of a compassionate, loving and supportive community.  In second grade the teachers collaborate to build and enhance the curriculum to meet the needs of the individual students and the uniqueness of each incoming class.  This continues to be rewarding and challenging each year.  In addition to being a strong educational institution, we are proud being a part of a community that wholeheartedly embraces those in need.
