This week we are celebrating 5th grade teacher Mrs. Denise Dilorio. This is her first year with St. James Regional Catholic School, and fourth full year teaching. While she was finishing up her Master’s degree, she spent some time last year shadowing Mrs. Spadea’s 4th grade class, who are now in her class!
Before her teaching career, Mrs. Dilorio actually worked as a veterinary nurse at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She cared for patients, and taught fourth year veterinary students and Harcum nursing clinical skills.
Outside of the classroom, Mrs. Dilorio enjoys watching Chopped and other competitive cooking shows on the Food Network. She also stated Miracle and The Martian are among her favorite movies. She enjoys watching these with her family.
One day, Mrs. Dilorio hopes to travel to Italy.
