welcome to 5th grade!
Meet the Teacher
Hello! My name is Mrs. Magas. I graduated from Hofstra University with a BA in Liberal Arts and earned my Masters Degree in Childhood Education at L.I. University.
In 2007, I began teaching fifth grade math and science at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bellmore, NY. In 2008, I became part of the St. Agnes family! I have been teaching fifth grade science, health, and religion classes ever since!
I believe that teachers need to teach students the skills they need to teach themselves. This establishes the foundation for a lifelong learner! I am thankful to work with such wonderful students, parents, and educators at St. Agnes Cathedral School!

Mary, Pray for us
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
