My name is Ms. Teresa Richardson and I am the 3rd-grade teacher at St. Mary School. 

I believe that the wonderful world of the first grade should be a place for the students to grow in faith, learn, engage, ask questions, think critically, and most importantly--have fun! 

I have been a catechist and elementary teacher in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles since 2000.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to teach Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. To me, teaching is my vocation and a true calling from God. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to play an intricate part in your child’s development and love for learning. 

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and now reside in the Antelope Valley. I am a proud mother of the cutest little fur baby and an Auntie. I have enjoyed traveling to Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Jamaica, Greece, France, Hawaii, and even took a road trip from Los Angeles to Maine!  I encourage all students to seek similar opportunities and see God’s creations around the world. 

I am looking forward to another exciting year at St. Mary School and am grateful for the opportunity to participate in the loving and welcoming St. Mary community.
