“While I have lots of teaching experience from my time at Saint Rose, this is my first year having my own classroom and I could not be more excited,” she said. “I was drawn to teach at Averill Park CSD because of all the positive things I had heard about the district from those who work/worked there, those who knew someone who works/worked there, or those who have/had children who attended the district. I am very excited to join the Averill Park community and Algonquin family.”
In her spare time, Ms. Farrell likes to work out, spend time in her hometown of Saratoga Springs, spend time in Lake George and spend time with her family, friends and boyfriend. Fun Fact!
