Enrollment Coordinator
A great big thank you to Mrs. Denardo who over the years has not only supported our growth in enrollment but also saved us by covering classes, supported CSW, Book Fairs and led Santa events as well as the infamous Exercise for Education. She has also been posting all the events and celebrations to our facebook page over the last several years. Her family has moved to the Lansdale area. She will be missed. That also leads me to, if you are aware of someone in our extended family who you think would be an asset or you yourself may be interested in this part-time position please reach out to me with a resume. rconboy@stisidoreschool.com. It is a part-time position with a maximum of 19 hours/week.
