Angelita T. Gaffud

Celebrating 40 Years
of Teaching at St. Joseph!

This cherished teacher is celebrating her 40th year of teaching in her third grade classroom here at St. Joseph School. Miss Gaffud continues to nurture generations of third graders.  She loves working with children. She believes that each child has a unique personality. She motivates and helps her children do their best to achieve their individual maximum academic development. 

As a Catholic school teacher, she believes that Christian values play an important role in leading a good life. She shares this in her everyday actions as well as through her classroom activities. Miss Gaffud carries a Bachelor’s Degree and a Masters in Early Childhood Education. Along with that, she brings to her classroom a love and nurturing to each and every student. 

Together with longtime fellow third grade teacher Lillian Moss, they create a perfect environment for the third graders of St. Joseph School. 

Miss Gaffud has an open, welcoming classroom. Often alumni return to share their stories of success.  Many enroll their own children at St. Joseph to share the St. Joseph experience. Read about three alumni who recently shared their thoughts about this third grade teacher! 

A special celebration is planned for Miss Gaffud. She would be honored to have generations return to share in her celebration. We invite all alumni and your families to mark your calendars for February 1, 2009. Join us for our annual Alumni Mass at 12:15 p.m. and stay to congratulate Angelita Gaffud at a special reception scheduled in her honor following immediately in the School Hall.
