Summer Jobs- with summer right around the corner, an article you may want to read is “How Your Student Should Highlight A Summer Job on Their College Application”. The article can be here.

Resurrection teacher to retire Mary Scaccia announced her retirement following 21 years of teaching second grade at Resurrection Catholic School.

A product of Catholic school, Scaccia graduated from Sacred Heart of Jesus School and Lancaster Catholic High School. Catholic education and teaching have always been much more than a job.

She begins each day by asking, “Boys and girls, what is your job today?”

They respond in unison, “My job is to learn and to love one another. What is your job, Mrs. Scaccia?” She replies, “My job is to teach you and to love you.”

Just out of Shippensburg University, Scaccia began teaching first grade at Mill Road Elementary in Elizabethtown. After five years, she relocated with her husband several times but continued teaching religious education for her church or as a substitute in local schools. When she returned to Lancaster in 1995, she worked in the library at St. Anne School which her children attended. She started at Resurrection in 1998.

Scaccia received a Golden Apple award in 2007 from the Harrisburg Diocese. She plans to remain in Lancaster, spend more time with her seven grandchildren and travel with her husband.
