Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body and Spirit.
My name is Lizzy Brazil and this is my 2nd year teaching. I am originally from the Bay Area, but just relocated back after spending some time in New York City. In New York, I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Marymount Manhattan College, graduating first in my department. I began my teaching career there as well, teaching kindergarten. My favorite place in New York City was St. Patrick Cathedral, where I often prayed and attended mass with thousands of others. I am currently continuing to work on higher education while teaching.
I am so incredibly excited to be teaching second grade this year at St. Patrick School. I feel that God has called me to be an educator, and I pray everyday to be the best I possibly can be for these wonderful students! I have already felt the love and uplifting energy this community carries, and I truly appreciate it. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year and to many wonderful years of teaching to come.

My name is Fatima Naqvi and I am the second grade aide. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, which I hold dear to my heart. I also was in St. Patrick's graduating class of 2015! I attended UC Davis for my undergrad, and just recently graduated in June of 2023.
I am truly honored to be able to have the opportunity to have a positive impact in the lives of the second-graders. I hope to aide in fostering an environment in the classroom that supports the wants and needs of the children, and encouraging their growth. I am looking forward to watching them grow into their unique personalities over the year. "A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves their mark."
