LEE, Mass. — St. Mary's School second-grade teacher, Megan Pinsonneault, has been selected as the March Teacher of the Month. 

 

The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, will feature distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here. 

 

Pinsonneault has been teaching in one way or another her entire life, from playing school with her sisters to being a teacher's assistant in high school for a kids' dance class. 

 

She started her career as a fourth-grade teacher at St. Agnes' Academy in Dalton and six years later transitioned into being a reading interventionist at one of the public schools in Weymouth. Later in her career, she obtained a job as a fourth-grade teacher at St. Mary's. 

 

She took a break from her career for two years to raise her twin girls but returned to St. Mary's to take on her current position as a second-grade teacher, where she has been for the last five years.

 

"Now that I'm in second grade. I absolutely love it, and I hope to stay in second grade for the remainder of my teaching career, if possible," Pinsonneault said. 

 

"My hope for the future is that we can all learn and grow together and be accepting of people's ideas and opinions to be respectful, responsible, helpful citizens, and kind of just have an overall goal to make the world a better place, and look beyond just ourselves."
