"Making a difference, one child at a time."
My name is Mrs. Ferreri and I have been a part of Holy Family School since 2001 when my daughter and oldest son started 2nd grade and Pre-K here. My children were so blessed to begin their Holy Family School experience with Mrs. Schiraldi and Mrs. Buckley! We've loved Holy Family School ever since! All three of my children graduated from Holy Family School and then graduated from three different Catholic High Schools. Kiley, my oldest, graduated from Kellenberg Memorial and then Fairfield University. She is now teaching 3rd grade in CT. Zach graduated from Holy Trinity and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics from Florida State University. Ben graduated from Chaminade and recently graduated from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. He received his degree in Computer & Electrical Engineering. My husband and I have been married for 32 years and are truly thankful. We are strong proponents of Catholic Education.
I received my Bachelor of Arts from Providence College and soon after moved from MA to NY to join the business world where I met my husband. I took a few years off to raise my family and then worked part time at HFS. I have always had a love and appreciation of art and enjoy sharing my love of art with your children. I have been teaching Art to Kindergarten through 8th grade. I hope to instill a love of art in all of them and see what we can make out of our "Beautiful Oops"!

Message to Students
Welcome Back all of my former students and all our new students! This year I will be teaching grades
K-8 and am excited to begin creating with each grade. We will explore different mediums and skills throughout each grade level. I am excited to create with you and see you shine! Creativity is inherent in all of us, we just have to relax and let it flow! We will experiment with different processes, practice our skills, and have fun!

I look forward to creating this year with your child/children. As we create, we will be learning the elements of art and experiment using several different mediums. "Every Child is an Artist" Pablo Picasso
