My name is Lucy Ann Casella and this is my ninetenth year teaching in the Swedesboro-Woolwich School District.  Before becoming the Writing Extension teacher, I taught 5th grade for fifteen years in SWSD.  I consider teaching a gift, a calling and not a job.  I have two babies ~ my cats, Oliver and Clare along with my great niece and partner in crime, Gianna.  In my spare time I enjoy reading/writing, cooking, baking, gardening, and listening to Rock and Roll music ~ The Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, and Tom Petty. My favorite sports teams are the NEW YORK YANKEES, the University of NOTRE DAME football, and of course, the Philadelphia EAGLES ~ E A G L E S ~ EAGLES!!!
