My name is Sister Marilyn Holmes and I am a member of the Grand Rapids Dominicans. I have taught the third grade at St. Andrew's school since 1997.

 

I have a Masters degree in Education from Central Michigan University

 

My educational philosophy is:

 

"I believe in the wisdom, goodness, and uniqueness of children and that they respond best in a joyful, relaxed, Christian atmosphere."

 

"Each child has his/her own gifts and the teacher's role is to help them discover and build on these gifts."

 

"I share in the responsibility, with parents, in facilitating the spiritual, academic, moral, social, and physical growth of each child."

 

I believe in providing opportunities to develop attitudes and skills that will encourage children to become independent learners."

 

If you need to contact me, I would prefer that you leave me a message at school and I will call you back.

 

Additional tidbits about me:

"I enjoy traveling, camping, and being in nature. I'm a diehard Tiger's and Lion's fan. (Yes, there still is hope!) Go Wings!!!
