Grade 3 - Mrs. Carmen Bisacca

Welcome to 1st grade!  I would like to introduce myself.  This is my 12th year at Our Lady of the Presentation Catholic School.  I previously worked at Our Lady of Peace Catholic School for 5 years.  I taught 2nd grade for 3 years and a 1st/2nd multi-age classroom for 2 years.  Before OLP, I worked for the Lee’s Summit School District.  I worked with the 1st and 2nd grade students, focusing on remedial reading and math for the Title 1 program.  I also worked at two State Schools for children with disabilities, as well as IBS Industries Sheltered Workshop (now called Job One).  At IBS, I was the Program Manager for 8 years.  I attended a Catholic elementary and Catholic high school.  I received my Teaching Certification and a BA in Psychology from Avila University.

I am on the Strategic Intervention Team (SIT) and The Wellness and Disaster Committee at OLP.  I was honored in 2010 by receiving the Sisters of Charity Teacher of the Year Award at Our Lady of the Presentation.  In 2014 I was awarded the Alumni Service Award from Avila University.I am also on the Alumni Board at Avila University.

I live in Lee’s Summit with my husband and 2 children.  My daughter, Gina, is  a freshman at Northwest Missouri State University and my son, Domenick, is a freshman at St. Michael's the Archangel Catholic High School.  My family celebrates Mass at Our Lady of the Presentation.   You will often see our family as Greeters at the 10:00 Mass. Domenick sings at the 12:00 Mass with the Youth Ministry once a month.

I am looking forward to teaching another year at Our Lady of the Presentation.  Please feel free to contact me at any time.
